I've seen similar bootup issues.. but the nfs lock service failure isnt the problem afaict. Its most likely related to a service that is starting on your system after the nfslock service runs. I was able to get past my bootup problems by trial and error disabling services one at a time, until I could get a full bootup working again. try to boot into runlevel 3 and see how far it gets reboot into runlevel 1 and disable the service next in the list after the last message seen reboot into runlevel 3 and see how far it gets..... on and on till you get all the way into the system. I had to do this repeatedly and it appears that multiple services were causing bootup problems for me.I have NOT disabled the nfslock service as part of my troubleshooting effort. my nfslock service still boots with a failure, but I can now boot after disabling a number of other services. I still need to go back and try to reproduce the problem by re-enabling services that I turned off. Here is the list of services I turned off, some of these might not be a problem I still need to go back and try to reproduce the bootup errors with each package to be sure: ccsd cman fenced gfs mDNSResponder nifd rdisc -jef
