Kernel 2.2.13 network problems

[kd at flaga.is]

No, I am using Debian 2.1 i386 with upgraded Glibc to 2.1 as nfs server.
The problems are only visible with kernel 2.2.13 in the mpc823 board. If I
am using kernel 2.2.5 everything works fine.

K.D.

I *bet* your NFS server is on a PowerPC system running LinuxPPC.

I have the very same problem here with all kinds of embedded 8xx
systems (823, 850, 860) and all different kernel versions.

Move the NFS server to another  system,  for  instance  an  Intel  PC
running Linux, and you'll be perfectly fine.

I have no idea *why* this is happening...
