After reading the manuals and understanding it I got down to work but it didnt. After a while it dawned on me that amd uses nfs, ergo one needs nfs in the kernel, as I run a standalone machine I dont have nfs compiled into my kernel. Ahh I thought what about the nfs lkm? Does it load using modload...no panic after panic after panic. However all was not lost, run mountd or nfsd or nfsiod and the lkm is installed correctly. So patch up amd to check for nfs and load the module if it is not there. Shall I post this as a patch, or is it already in 2.1 and greater? Duncan Barclay #include
