Hi, I just remembered something: nfs might not let you export cdroms. I had this with redhat about a year ago. You also can not proxy nfs (that is: install a nfs server and mount a nfs mounted filesystem). I do not know what the status is now.
I do know that the exports file is vary annoying, especially with spaces. Try adding (ro) as option.

Why not? I have the least problems with the kernel server now that I am running 2.4. The patches for 2.2.18 did not work well enough.
