Is the kernel module "nvidia" loaded ?
Mathew McNally reported the same thing, problems with Nvidia Graphic distur=
bs
NFS/Network.

Perhaps I should be more exactly, my client here has an ASUS A7N8X
board. This have Nvidia NFORCE2 Chipset, Nvidia Network Chip,=20
and a AGP-Nvidia Gforce 4X Card.
Using 2.4.18-XFS all is fine, except the speed of the IDE System,
Using 2.4.22-XFS mostly IDE Speed is fine, System runs fine,=20
except "NFS Server not responding", those errors are fast comming and
going. nfsstat shows a lot of retrans.

The Problem exists - definitely.
But it's possible to configure that it does not hurt too much, by lowering
rsize=3D4096,wsize=3D4096 I got a compromise between speed and "NFS server =
=2E..".

I think the only solution is to send bugreports to NVIDIA.
(Shit closed source, in OSS we had already fixed this junk).
