Hi list,
 
I upgraded a RH9 box from = 2.4.20-24.9smp to=20 Vanilla kernel 2.6.3 (using smp as well). It look to be  working = fine=20 except for the messages i=B4m receiving from dmesg command. After = mounting a nfs=20 server (wich is running 2.4.20-28.8smp , RH8 kernel) I started = to get=20 these messages on dmesg:
 
 
----cut here---
nfs: server 10.0.3.1 not responding, = still=20 trying
nfs: server 10.0.3.1 = OK
APIC error=20 on CPU3: 00(60)
nfs: server 10.0.3.1 not responding, still=20 trying
 
... and much much more like the=20 above ...
---cut here---
 
Even with the messages I can do = operations using=20 the mountpoint from the client. I can save files, list directories and = files,=20 etc.
The question that arises after seeing = these=20 messages:
 
1) do the nfs code from 2.6 kernel is = compatible=20 with 2.4 kernel ? I meam, is it safe to make 2.6 as nfs client and 2.4 = as nfs=20 server ?
 
2) what can I do to try to solve this=20 problem?
 
I would appreciate any = help.
