Hi,

I just browsed through my kickstart-list summary and saw
that you seem to have the same problems with anaconda that
we had back with FC2 and e1000 NICs.

The first NFS-mount doesn't work with anaconda, but if you then
do the mount by hand it works just fine, right?

OK, someone back then (forgot your name, sorry ;)) suggested a
simple patch to isys/nfsmount.c; Just try to remount the thing
for a maximum number of times. This was the patch that I used
to make things work:

~  server_addr->sin_port = PMAPPORT;
~  pmap = pmap_getmaps(server_addr);

! if (!pmap) {
!       while (!pmap && (retries < 30)) {
!               sleep(2);
!               pmap = pmap_getmaps(server_addr);
!               retries++;
!       }
!       if (!pmap)
!               return NULL;
! }
!

~  if (version > MAX_NFSPROT)
~        version = MAX_NFSPROT;


</PATCH>
Simple enough and it worked for me, mayhaps it will work for you.

Good luck!,
