I'm having trouble reproducing this with my own nfsroot setup (which is
just a 'fedora 13 live' disk with NetworkManager turned firmly off).

However looking back at your report, you said that when you remove the
symlink, you get an error message of the form:

"starting splashutils daemon.../etc/rc.d/S00splashutils: line
50: //sbin/fbsplashd.static: Unknown error 521"

Error 521 is EBADHANDLE, which basically means your client got a
corrupted filehandle. The 'fileid changed' thing also indicates some
form of corruption.

The question is whether this is something happening on the server or the
client. Does an older client kernel boot without any trouble?
