No solution, but I see a similar problem here using FC1. My /home directories are nfs-mounted from a FreeBSD (5.2.1) machine and as you say it can take from 5 to 30 minutes for the mount to succeed -- when it is done from /etc/fstab:
amayatra:/home /home nfs rw 0 0
I've actually commented out this line in /etc/fstab because it takes so damn long to mount. No errors are displayed. The nfs server shows the mount request being received, but it takes fer-frickin'-ever to complete on the client. None of the other machines on the network (running FreeBSD and NetBSD) have this problem.
Curiously, if I leave the line commented out and mount /home manually ("mount amayatra:/home /home") it is instantly mounted; no delay.
I've tried changing when the nfs filesystems are mounted in init, but it doesn't seem to matter.
It's kind of a PITA because I have to mount /home manually when I reboot, but I don't reboot all that often so I've just put up with it.
We have similar problem at one of the our customers. RH9, tg3 driver. It takes too long to autonegotiate with the switch. After that, everything works fine. tg3 doesn't have any options, ethtool can only set 100Mb, mii-tool crashes.
What is this "tg3 driver"?
