However, if you rename it and (Cc fixed) Can you get a Sysrq + w output by doing either echo w > /proc/sysrq-trigger (or) Sysrq + w (hold Sysrq key and press 'w') and capture dmesg output and attach? It you could not get a shell, you could try to disable NFS during boot and try to start NFS once the machine boots and then try. Is the NFS server running inside a Virtual machine?
