Arne, Your server actually *freezes*? I don't think I have ever seem a Linux box do that. I've seen kernel oops, but freeze?
Are you using a GUI on the server? Is it possible just the GUI is getting wedged? Try going to a terminal (not one inside the GUI but a real terminal) and see if the machine actual is freezing. Anyway, your problem sounds like an incorrect option to NFS, such as a retry time that is too long. Try running tcpdump while booting the client to see if during the "freeze" there are any packets going back and forth... or maybe just forth. Pete -- http://www.elbnet.com ELB Internet Service, Inc.
