Does mandrake add these patches from the nfs guy? http://www.fys.uio.no/~trondmy/src/2.4.19/
there is a NFS deadlock patch for HIGHMEM systems. Might be what we are getting. specifically, linux-2.4.19-01-fix_kmap1.dif linux-2.4.19-01-fix_kmap2.dif linux-2.4.19-01-fix_kmap3.dif there are a bunch of other patches that might also help with deadlocks on HIGHMEM, but the descriptions are not clear.
