NFS problem after upgrade from 2.6.32 to 2.6.3[3-7]

[Henrik Grindal Bakken <hgb-6miFZF/5cTBuMpJDpNschA@public.gmane.org>]

Hi.  I'm running a (home-brew) linux distro on a powerpc, which
exports a yaffs2 filesystem via nfs to some arm-linuxes.

This has worked fine with kernels up to and including 2.6.32, but when
trying to upgrade further, we've been running into problems.

I didn't try 2.6.3[345] myself, but the reports were that nfs somehow
didn't work.  I'm trying 2.6.37-rc2 now after trying 2.6.36 earlier,
and I get the following problem:

$ grep -v '^#' /etc/netconfig 
udp        tpi_clts      v     inet     udp     -       -
udp6       tpi_clts      v     inet6    udp     -       -
local      tpi_cots_ord  -     loopback  -      -       -
$ rpcbind
$ rpc.mountd --no-tcp
$ rpc.nfsd -H ppc -N 4 -T
svc: failed to register nfsdv2 RPC service (errno 111).
nfsd: last server has exited, flushing export cache
rpc.nfsd: writing fd to kernel failed: errno 111 (Connection refused)
rpc.nfsd: unable to set any sockets for nfsd

I've tried to google the error message, to no avail.  The only hits I
get are from commit messages.

I'm running nfs-utils-1.2.3, configured with
./configure --with-tcp-wrappers=no --disable-nfsv4 --enable-uuid=no \
    --disable-gss --enable-mount=no

NFS-related kernel configs:
CONFIG_NFS_FS=y
CONFIG_NFS_V3=y
# CONFIG_NFS_V3_ACL is not set
CONFIG_NFS_V4=y
# CONFIG_NFS_V4_1 is not set
CONFIG_ROOT_NFS=y
CONFIG_NFS_USE_LEGACY_DNS=y
CONFIG_NFSD=y
CONFIG_NFSD_DEPRECATED=y
CONFIG_NFSD_V3=y
# CONFIG_NFSD_V3_ACL is not set
CONFIG_NFSD_V4=y
CONFIG_NFS_COMMON=y

Does anyone have any pointers?
