Whoops, sorry. It's the server machine.

Yep, it's all there. (There were multiple instances of each, but I 
trimmed for brevity)

$ pmap_dump
    100000    2   tcp    111  portmapper
    100021    1   udp  49839  nlockmgr
    100003    2   udp   2049  nfs
    100005    3   tcp  41506  mountd
    100000    2   udp    111  portmapper
    100024    1   tcp  40842  status

That sounds like a very good theory.

The thing is, the installation was just an upgrade using the Ubuntu 
"Update Manager", which usually happens without any issues.

So, how would I get this new kernel to get a little nfsd action? I tried 
searching Synaptic for packages with nsfd in them, but it's not as 
straight up as just finding a package.
