In any case, the problem is most likely a module that doesn't get loaded. This
may be due to several reasons:
- your kernel build doesn't even include the module
- the initrd is missing the appropriate module
- you did not install the modules into the NFSROOT properly

In all cases: Use the shell prompt to find out more, like trying to load the
module manually and so on, dmesg, ...

Best,
Michael
