This is not a kernel problem; the error message indicates that some other statd process is already running that hasn't been properly stopped during upgrade, so starting a second statd process fails.
This bug has been resolved in karmic with the conversion of nfs-common to properly-managed upstart jobs: upstart will act as a process supervisor and ensure there is only one copy of statd running at a time (and fail at the right point if there's a problem trying to stop the old statd on upgrade). ** Changed in: nfs-utils (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released -- [jaunty] nfs-common fails to start unless NEED_STATD=no https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/305589 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
