Title:
  nfsroot nolock regression

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  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?
