NFS mounting delays w/ 2.4.x kernel?

I've seen reference to this before (I think on this list) but didn't pay
attention to them
at the time. I am now running into this problem myself. I've just upgraded
one of my NFS
servers here from 2.2.17 -> 2.4.1 ).

I'm running the user-space server nfs-server-2.2beta48 (tried beta47 as
well). Current
versions of mount, et al. When booting I get the following errors:

---------------------------
Mounted devfs on /dev
Trying to unmount old root ... okay
Freeing unused kernel memory: 228k freed
Adding Swap: 1048568k swap-space (priority -1)
portmap: server localhost not responding, timed out
portmap: server localhost not responding, timed out
lockd_up: makesock failed, error=-5
portmap: server localhost not responding, timed out
-----------------------------

Which pauses the boot process by about 3 minutes. Everything mounts fine
but there is
the pause. Doing a tcpump I see:

18:34:39.445211 192.168.2.18.931 > 192.168.2.26.827: udp 60 (DF)

statfs [|nfs] (DF)

(192.168.2.18 - nfs exporter, 192.168.2.26 the system that was upgraded the
one trying to
mount the exported volume).

When I don't change anything but boot the older 2.2.17 kernel the system
starts right up.
I don't see anything that would be causing this. Attached is the
configuration for the kernel I'm
running. I use menuconfig to configure the system (if that makes a
difference) and compile
kernels monolithic.

Does anyone have any ideas?
