   NFS root is badly broken in 2.1.32 (basically the core NFS code has been massively changed without any changes being made to nfsroot.c).  Here is a patch I've developed which fixes the easy problems in nfsroot.c for anyone who wants to investigate it further:

  	if (!p)
  		return -1;

  		return -1;

  			printk(KERN_ERR "Root-NFS: Unable to get nfsd port number from server, using default\n");
! 			port = NFS_NFS_PORT;
  		}
  		nfs_port = port;
  #ifdef NFSROOT_DEBUG

  		}
  		nfs_port = port;
