NFS should work ok with Fedora-2 unless there are other problems that are preventing it from getting set up correctly. I have personally never had any problems with NFS that weren't due to incorect network setup on my part. That doesn't mean it isn't possible though! :)
Is localhost in the same line as the nfs_server alias on the head node? This can propagate out to the nodes and confuse the nodes into thinking they are the servers and would cause NFS not to work. I would think it wouldn't work if mounted by hand either though. Did you fix the modprobe.conf file? This shouldn't affect nfs, but I am not sure what the auto generated one does since mine have never worked at all. Again, this generally just makes the network cards not come up, so the hand mounting shouldn't work either. Did you check the /etc/fstab on the nodes? It would be very odd if they were wrong, but its worth checking. I assume you have tried rebooting the head node and the client nodes. Shouldn't mater, but its always worth a try. It shouldn't be an issue on install, but boot order is important too. I frequently forget and boot my head and nodes at the same time. Since the nodes usually finish booting before the nfs server starts up, they don't mount the home dirs correctly. Thats all the NFS related ideas I can come up with, and most are fairly far fetched. If they don't help, could you send the oscarinstall.log file and a bit more information about your hardware?
