What's your /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} look like, since RH had the sense (?) to link libwrap.a into portmap? You don't get any RPC timeouts during the process at all? How is /usr/local exported (what options)? From the same Linux server as the Kickstart server is running on? Or are they separate machines? What does a "showmount -e" on the NFS server show? What version of portmap? Clean 7.1 install (no upgrades or anything, standard "Everything" from CD or network)? Could you tcpdump the start of a Kickstart for me and send me the results? tcpdump -vv -i <interface> -s 192 -w ks.out would be perfect, if you don't mind.
