Hi,
The portmapper isn't running on your system. I'm not an expert,
I just know that I got a lot of RPC-related errors due to
portmap not running.
If you are booting from a RedHat system please note that
due to some misconfiguration (at least in 6.1) portmap will
not be running after you've booted the system , even though
you may have installed it.
Finally, make sure that nfsd and mountd are both running on
your host.
