The NFS modules (nfsd, lockd, sunrpc) will not be loaded at the start of %post unless you have done an NFS install. Because the first stage loader, where the modules for the installer kernel live, has been occluded by the second stage filesystem, you cannot load them at %post time. You cannot load them from the /mnt/sysimage tree because the kernel versions don't match. Possible workarounds (untested): - Rebuild the boot disk/cd with kernel-BOOT packages which match the kernel being installed. - Use %pre or %post somehow to poke around the various /dev/ram devices with debugfs, extract the necessary modules and insmod them in the right order.
