This bug is only about the error messages. They are the same and that makes it
difficult to know what is going on. (However, I do have a lot of machines that
suffer from the same problem as yours and can't boot.)

The same is the case on my servers. I think the problem you describe is caused
by bug #470776. The situation is not very consistent. Some machines simply
can't boot and others boot, but don't mount NFS. Still others (like the
example) do boot and mount the shares, but tell me it didn't work. (That's
what this bug is about.) There is also bug #431248 with some discussion, but
that one is considered fixed.

That might be something else, like a problem with the video driver.
