I have this exact same problem.  I have been experimenting with
solutions for about a month now, with no success. Here are a few
thoughts...

_11.10 clients on a 11.04 server running nfs4 DO have the problem. (11.04 
clients are OK).
_I built a 11.10 server running nfs4 as a test. The problem persists.
_Clients on 11.10 nfs4 systems will NOT boot if nfsvers=3 is inserted into the 
fstab.
_As a test, I shut down my LAN firewall.  No change. 
_bootwait in fstab helps the boot problem, but introduces another problem:  if 
more than one client tries to boot at the same time they both freeze. 

If adding nfsvers=3 to fstab solves the problem, then wouldn't it be
logical to assume there is a bug with NFS4?  The question would then be:
is it an Ubuntu problem, or a NFS problem?  In other words, would a
different distro behave the same?
