Diskless client with kernel 2.4.18 cannot boot

[Mohd-Hanafiah Abdullah <napi@cs.indiana.edu>]

The following error message was given while booting a diskless machine using
kernel 2.4.18.  The message was something like this:

...

RPC: sendmsg returned error 101
portmap: RPC call returned error 101

But, when I used kernel 2.2.14 for the diskless client it worked fine.
The server machine is the same one running kernel 2.4.18 with the necessary
services turned on.

Any idea?

Thanks.
