Thread-topic: Cannot start NFS Daemon

I’m running a Dell Poweredge 1850.  I just installed Xen 3.0.1, as the Xen 2.0.6 kernel would not boot – I kept getting a kernel panic.  I’m also running CentOS 4.2 as the underlying OS.

 

When I boot up a Xen machine that is supposed to have NFS support and try to start NFS, I get the following.

 

Starting NFS services:                                     [  OK  ]

Starting NFS quotas:                                       [  OK  ]

Starting NFS daemon:                                       [FAILED]

Starting NFS mountd:                                       [  OK  ]

 

I’ve done some searching and this seems to indicate that NFS support may not be included in the kernel, or that I need to recompile the kernel with NFS support – problem is I am pretty new to this and have no idea what is involved in doing either one of these.  Could someone give me a hint to how to recompile my kernel, or what I need to do in order to get the nfs daemon working?  Would I need to recompile the kernel on the xen guest, or on the host machine?

 

The current host kernel is 2.6.12.6-xen

 

The guest’s use 2.6.12.6-xenU

 

Let me know if you need any more information about the host, guests or machine.

 

Ben
