To make matters worse, my 486/100 box (with the same > kernel and patch level) refuses to run rpc.mountd during init. If I > start it by hand afterwards, all is well. When I put 'echo ..' statements > into the init script, nothing appears! Couple of things: I noticed that Adam added the '-s' option to the modprobe command line, which logs data to syslog. Maybe something is going wrong with this. Other possibility - I remember when testing my kmod alterations that there were some odd occasional memory corruptions. This was manifested by GPM registering mouse movements that I didn't make, and failure of sh scripts that I know are correct. Try inserting some dummy code into kmod and see if that changes the misbehavior. If it does, we may have some (un?)-related memory trashing. You're using gcc 2.7.2.3, not egcs or gcc2.8, right? Other thing - did the exact same setup work for 2.1.97 with Adam's patch? Only because the patch is exactly the same. There might be breakage elsewhere in the kernel.
