I haven't had much luck reproducing this. I disabled v4.1 in my .config
and I can still boot a VM with NFS root (granted, I don't really use NFS
root so this setup is brand new and pretty basic):
[root@localhost ~]# cat /proc/cmdline
BOOT_IMAGE=mountapi/vmlinuz initrd=mountapi/initrd.img ip=dhcp selinux=0 console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200 root=nfs4:192.168.122.3:/export/nfsroot/fedora31
[root@localhost ~]# grep nfs /proc/mounts
192.168.122.3:/export/nfsroot/fedora31 / nfs rw,relatime,vers=4.0,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,clientaddr=192.168.122.69,local_lock=none,addr=192.168.122.3 0 0
Just out of curiousity, what version of the mount.nfs program do you
have in your initramfs? I'm wondering if it's maybe passing the mount
options differently than mine. FWIW I'm using version 2.4.2:
[smayhew@aion tmp]$ lsinitrd /var/lib/tftpboot/mountapi/initrd.img|grep mount.nfs
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 208600 Feb 14 2019 usr/sbin/mount.nfs
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Feb 14 2019 usr/sbin/mount.nfs4 -> mount.nfs
[smayhew@aion tmp]$ /usr/lib/dracut/skipcpio /var/lib/tftpboot/mountapi/initrd.img|zcat|cpio -id usr/sbin/mount.nfs
256163 blocks
[smayhew@aion tmp]$ ./usr/sbin/mount.nfs -V
mount.nfs: (linux nfs-utils 2.4.2)
