I got a similar error kernel panic, but not for NFS but about the sda.

VFS: Cannot open root device "sda1" or unknown-block(0,0)
 Please append a correct "root=" boot option
 Kernel panic VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)

 The modilfied 2.6.8 kernel seems not recognize my SATA drive. This
happened for only the modified 2.6.8 kernel. The new fresh kernel
installed from apt-get is ok. But that has some trouble with drivers.

I've tried to reconfigure kernel with maximum SATA support. I even
tried to patch it with libata
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/jgarzik/libata/

But error is still there.

Any suggestion about that.
