Hello,  (please let me know if I'm sending to the wrong list)

I've been trying all night to get this working.  I've been getting
root-nfs Cannot mount error -13 all night, and have tried EVERYTHING found
on google pertaining to this.  Could it be the fai kernel I compiled?  I
copied the config from the fai-kernel to add the tg3 driver but it was
already in there.  I also added a driver (CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SVWKS) for my
hard drive controller.  Here's the error I see from the fai server:
                                                                                
(from the server)                                                               
May 10 05:35:31 blade01 rpc.mountd: bad path in mount request from              
  <ip address>: "blade01:/diskless_ro"                                          
                                                                                
I can see the export /diskless_ro when I do showmount -e, and I                 
can mount the directory from another blade, and I even changed                  
the /etc/exports for the directory to be:                                       
  /diskless_ro  *(sync)                                                         
                                                                                
...but to no avail :(                                                           
                                                                                
the option root-path in the dhcpd.conf is like this:                            
                                                                                
 option root-path "blade01:/diskless_ro";                                       
                                                                                
and here's my pxelinux.cfg

label fai-generated

----------------                                                                
                                                                                
does anybody have any ideas on what's worng or how to brute force this?
