Hi,

My way to reproduce this:

I have a Karmic 32bit, completly uptodate. 
(in a VMware client, but i don't think, this should make no difference for this 
issue.)

I use Synaptic Package Manger and remove completely _EVERY_ linux kernel, 
headers, modules etc.
After this i have an empty /boot (except for ./grub, memtest) and an empty 
/lib/modules.
Then i install the package 'linux-virtual'.
/boot has the kernel now, and /lib/modules the <version>-generic-pae/kernel/fs,
but in kernel/fs is only the configfs sub folder.

On reboot i select the generic-pae kernel (witch is the only one).

If i try to start the nfs server, it fails with initially 
* Not starting NFS kernel daemon: no support in current kernel.

Now the same story again:
Removing completely all (now the only one) kernel, 
but installing the 'linux-server' package,
reboot, select generic-pae kernel again,

and starting nfs server is no problem.

Now /lib/modules/<version>-generic-pae/kernel/fs/ is full of
sub folders, including the nfs and nfsd stuff.


So i think, the bug description should better be
'No NFS support in Karmic virtual kernel?'
And the answer could be: This is intended to keep the
virtual kernel small.

Only thing is, you can't even import nfs file systems with
this virtual kernel, and that is what i tried to do, when i
found this issue. But using the server kernel is ok for me.

greetings
  Ralf
