After I compiled the new kernel of my RH6.0, the NFS server can on longer
be started, it reports

% /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs start

...
NFS: nfssvc -- function not implemented
...

I suspect I may have missed some modules in the "make xconfig". Can
anyone help?

thanks.

The problem is that your kernel was not configured to support the new
kernel-based nfs server. Recompile with something like:

CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL=y
CONFIG_NFSD=m

And yes this is just one of the many little problems that arise when
upgrading to RH6.0. :-)

Another one I discovered yesterday is:-
rpm -qf /usr/include/scsi/scsi.h
glibc-devel-2.1.1-6
and
$ ls -l /usr/include/scsi/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Apr 18 1998 /usr/include/scsi
-> ../src/linux/include/scsi

Thus upgrading glibc-devel-2.2.2.6 corrupts your kernel if you happen to
be on a different version from that current when the rpm was built. I
was on 2.2.10, and found that the recompilation failed for that reason.
I just reinstalled the kernel from the tar ball.

This is just what I have done before, but it doesn't work. The strange
thing is the original kernel come with RH6.0 installation works! Does
this means do not compile your kernel too often ? :-)

Nope. Recompile as often as you find it useful. It is usually a good
idea to keep up with at least the stable kernels as they are released.
But as we have discovered, redhat make undocumented assumptions about
the kernel configuration. You only need to sort out what is needed once:
it is usually very simple to copy the configuration for one release to
the next. Then carry out any tweaks if needed.
