[Sunhelp] Solaris, Linux, and NFS

[Gregory Leblanc]

Have you compiled your own kernel on the Linux box?  If not, that's what I
would try.  There is an option in there somewhere for SUN NFS support, or
something like that.  I'll look in a while when I get back to my linux box
and post the line that needs to be in .config if I haven't heard anything.
