IMHO the only thing you could toggle in the kernel config is nfs _server_ over tcp (which is enabled in the debian kernels), so the clientside support should be always available... > try to mount using the tcp option and fall back to udp, if the mount operation > fails -- or does the mount work in any case? good question; this I didn't try yet... BTW: even nfsroot over tcp works, though isn't documented in the kernels nfsroot.txt: use something like nfsroot=server:path,tcp on the kernel command line to use it. -- c u henning
