The system is a 32-bit PPC embedded board that we mounting the rootfs  
over nfs on.

The defconfig is arch/powerpc/configs/mpc8641_hpcn_defconfig

strace:

stat64("/", {st_dev=makedev(0, 14), st_ino=58821800, st_mode=S_IFDIR| 
0775, st_nlink=18, st_uid=500, st_gid=500, st_blksize=4096,  
st_blocks=8, st_size=4096, st_atime=2007/10/23-22:43:30,  
st_mtime=2007/10/18-19:51:19, st_ctime=2007/10/18-19:51:19}) = 0
ustat(0xe, 0x1001a008)                  = -1 ESTALE (Stale NFS file  
handle)
fstat64(1, {st_dev=makedev(0, 14), st_ino=58821964, st_mode=S_IFCHR| 
0600, st_nlink=1, st_uid=0, st_gid=0, st_blksize=4096, st_blocks=0,
