I don't understand kernel based vs. traditional nfs. Be that as it may: Can you mount from another Linux box? In other words, take the OS issue out for the moment. What does /var/log/messages say? Or your OS equivalent thereof? Is portmap running? In addition to exports, what params are you passing attempting to mount? I would presume you have statements on the client side in /etc/fstab similar to the following: 192.168.1.1:/home /home nfs _netdev,auto,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14 Need more data to be helpful, I'm afraid.
