That's a whole different problem. This one here was a warning about wasting 512 bytes of kernel memory. Can you give more details about the problem? What machines are you using? What Ethernet boards? Can you perform any other access when NFS locks up? Are you using the GENERIC 2.2.6 kernel, or have you changed anything?
