Could this be related?

I run into this issue and the suggested modification

1. nano +67 /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server 
2. Comment out this line: "if [ -f /proc/kallsyms ] && ! grep -qE ' nfsd_serv ' /proc/kallsyms; then" 
3. Replace with this line: "if [ -f /proc/kallsyms ] && ! grep -qE 'init_nf(sd| )' /proc/kallsyms; then" 
4. Save the changes 
5. NFS will now start correctly: 

worked for me.

  nfs-kernel-server fails to start after kernel upgrade

Bug description:
  After updating to kernel 2.6.31-20-generic-pae on my Karmic server,
  nfs-kernel-server fails to start and I cannot mount my network shares.
  I believe this is because portmap is not started before nfs-kernel-
  server.  To remedy the situation I am forced to:

  1.  Log in via ssh
  2.  Stop nfs-kernel-server
  3.  Stop portmap
  4.  Start portmap
  5.  Start nfs-kernel-server

  My shares are now available over my network.  I have to do this any
  time the system is rebooted, although restarts are few and far
  between, there is clearly an issue here with these services.  If
  portmap were started via /etc/init.d I could fix the problem on my
  own, but I find that I know nothing about upstart.

  This is an Ubuntu Karmic 9.10 server with kernel 2.6.31-20-generic-pae.
  Portmap is version 6.0-10ubuntu2.
  Nfs-kernel-server is verison 1:1.2.0-2ubuntu8.

  Before this kernel version the problem was not present.  If you need
  more information, please feel free to ask me for it.
