Hi,
Firstly, NFS doesn't really have much to do with the kernel.
I have used NFS on some early kernel distributions.
It's a separate suite of software (daemons, scripts, etc) that can be
configured to run at boot time.
Look in rc2.d and there should be a few scripts in there that run up NFS.
There is also an NFS howto on most Linux distributions that explains how to
setup NFS.
I wouldn't advise power cycling a machine every time you change something.
There is a chance that something you write to the disk doesn't actually get
written to the disk hardware until the next sync or so,
so you can damage things.
man reboot
Most Linux distributions can be rebooted remotely (this is not power
cycling).
So can most other Unix boxen.
To fix your problem, you should read through the NFS howto and try each of
its recommendations.
Note that for NFS to work, you first need ethernet communications to be
working, preferably error free (ping, the usual services all working) which
I assume you have.
Regards,
Jill.
