    I am experiencing similar problems with 2.4.18 as a client (the NFS
    server is on Solaris). When the client freezes I see nfsstat 'client rpc
    retrans' counting fast. I found a quite strange way to unlock the
    machine, by performing a port scan with nmap from elsewhere.
    BTW, which Gigabit ethernet do you use, I use tg3, there could be a
    relation to the network card?

    Cheers,
