However it seems there is a bug somewhere causing the startup script to fail with the error message mentionned at the top of this page. By disabling (commenting out the lines) the kernel support check in the /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server script, the NFS server can be started successfully. It is quite interesting to know as it avoids the need to recompile the kernel. Using the mainline kernel from here:
