Please attach also /tmp/syslog and /tmp/program.log. Are you able to ping the nfs server from tty2?

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2013-04-03 13:38:05 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle.
Changing version to '19'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)
