OK, so everything actually runs. I've grepped a bit through the kernel code,
and it appears that the typical reason why the error message comes is that
the kernel cannot register with the portmapper.

Just for the sake of it, could you see if you also get this error with
stable's nfs-common and nfs-kernel-server? (I'd believe so, but you never
know.) Do you have any non-default parameters to portmap?

I think the best thing to do at this point would be to run portmap in
debugging mode -- do a killall portmap, re-run it (as root) in debugging mode
using "portmap -d -v", restart nfs-kernel-server and paste the output. That
should tell us if the kernel indeed reaches portmap.
