This is a ‘known problem’ and has – at least – been documented:\u00a0 https:\/\/lkml.org\/lkml\/2017\/11\/18\/224<\/a><\/p>\n
The workaround – for the time being – is to simply deselect NFSv4 support in the Kernel config, and then the compile completes, and the system boots OK:<\/p>\n

I have – so far – successfully swapped out the RX2600 all-PCI-X cage for a ZX9000 PCI-X\/AGP one, and installed a NVIDIA Quadro 900 dual-DVI video card, but have not yet managed to get a more ‘modern’ version of Nouveau working, and so am still using framebuffer, and VNC.<\/p>\n
