I just started reading the thread so excuse my ignorance:

Have you mentioned what server you use and how it is configured?

Are you getting anything in the logs?

I don't know if it helps but I have used NFS-root with all sorts of wrong
parameters in fstab (including none at all) for both 2.4 and 2.6 kernels and i
have never experienced the type of problems you are referring to.

I'm writing this because sometimes I find it helpful with messages like "Works
for me" even though they don't actually suggest any solutions. I have no real
time clock on my TS7250 so i let another NFS client write the current time
every minute in a file that is read during bootup. (This is just to avoid a
lot of warnings about modification times in the future during init.) This have
never failed me.

Regards
Per Öberg
