I am sure you are much more in-tune with how exactly these things work
than I am. However, from my observations at $work, the
linux-image-virtual in intrepid is based so closely off of the -server
flavor that it ships as a separate linux-image, but uses the -server
headers. The linux-image-virtual, as configured, does not have NFSV4
client capability. To test this, you can do a fresh clean JeOS install
using an 8.10 CD, dist-upgrade, modprobe nfs, cat /proc/filesystems, or
even try to mount NFSV4. Either way, the problem should become apparent
rather quickly.
Also worth noting that in intrepid JeOS, /boot/config-`uname -r` appears
to be missing.
Best regards,
Zack
