This ooops happened while trying to nfsboot a 386, and restarting nfsd halfway through the boot process. I bet it's not a common problem... Server is 2.4.2-ac23, client (the Oopser) is 2.4.2-ac24. The oops is partial because I had to hand-copy from the console, and it blanked after a few minutes. The client was trying to mount its root fs at the time (it failed). -Eric ------ ksymoops 2.4.1 on i586 2.4.2-ac23.
