Hi, I'm booting a Xen DomU that connects to NFS4 mounts served up by the Dom0. Fyi, rpm -qa | egrep -i "^nfs|^kernel" nfs-kernel-server-1.2.3-11.16.1.x86_64 nfsidmap-0.23-13.1.x86_64 nfs-client-1.2.3-11.16.1.x86_64 kernel-xen-2.6.37.6-0.7.1.x86_64 @ DomU launch, it gets to the NFSv4 'stuff', ...

Then, without any further fanfare, the boot completes. Welcome to openSUSE 11.4 "Celadon" - Kernel 2.6.37.6-0.7-xen (xvc0). test login: At this point the DomU is up. All the NFS mounts are mounted. Nothing seems amiss. Clearly, the 4-5 minute wait isn't normal. I suspect that there's some sort of settling/locking issue, but I don't know how to verify or debug the source of the problem. Any pointers as to what to start looking at?
