Theres a FAQ at http://nfs.sourceforge.net/

Q. I frequently see this in my logs:
kernel: nfs: server server.domain.name not responding, still trying
kernel: nfs: task 10754 can't get a request slot
kernel: nfs: server server.domain.name OK

A. The "can't get a request slot" message means that the client-side RPC code 
has detected a lot of timeouts (perhaps due to network congestion, perhaps due 
to an overloaded server), and is throttling back the number of concurrent 
outstanding requests in an attempt to lighten the load.
Causes:

     * Network congestion
     * Overloaded server
     * Packets (input or output) dropped by a bad NIC or driver....

Some cheap rtl8139 NICs were mentioned to have problems with the newer 8139too.o 
driver. May you give the original rtl8139.o driver a try.

Have fun,
Carsten.
