[Bug 452686] [NEW] nfsroot nolock regression

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

Binary package hint: mountall

I just updated a headless thin client from jaunty to karmic. Now it
fails to boot with this:

mount.nfs: rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking.
mount.nfs: Either use '-o nolock' to keep locks local, or start statd.
mountall: mount / [564] terminated with status 32
mountall: Filesystem could not be mounted: /

The relevant kernel parameters are:

ip=::::nord::dhcp root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=16.1.1.1:/export/olio,nolock

and /etc/fstab is empty.  I've also tried putting configuration in
/etc/fstab then regenerating the initramfs, but that doesn't seem to
matter so I reverted to the configuration that worked in jaunty.

It seems like mountall is dropping the "nolock" option from the nfsroot
kernel param?
