They're both on the same physical filesystem on the server, but unique exports:
/home/mlankhorst/nfs *(no_subtree_check,insecure,rw,all_squash,anonuid=1000,anongid=1000)
/home/mlankhorst/kvm/quantal-amd64 *(no_subtree_check,insecure,rw,no_root_squash)

Rootfs is mounted by the kernel itself, I used a custom init script to mount /lib/modules
early on:

mount -t nfs -o nolock,vers=3 192.168.1.128:/home/mlankhorst/nfs /home/mlankhorst/nfs &&
mkdir -p /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel &&
mount --bind /home/mlankhorst/nfs/linux /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel &&
([ -f /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.symbols ] || depmod)

exec /sbin/init

Either way until the root cause is found could this patch be reverted?
