What's wrong?

It looks to me like there is no nfs support in the kernel any more, and I cant find an nfs module anywhere either.

Code:

/home/user # cat /mnt/initfs/proc/filesystems
nodev   sysfs
nodev   rootfs
nodev   bdev
nodev   proc
nodev   securityfs
nodev   sockfs
nodev   usbfs
nodev   pipefs
nodev   futexfs
nodev   tmpfs
nodev   inotifyfs
nodev   eventpollfs
nodev   devpts
nodev   ramfs
  msdos
  vfat
nodev   jffs2
nodev   mqueue

This is a shame, I used nfs a bit on this machine. Maybe they'll take it under consideration as a feature request?

EDIT:
Scratch that...

Code:

apt-get install nfs-common

...adds nfs support easily enough, yet I am still getting the "No such device" error...

EDIT-2:
According to this guy's experience:

It is less than trivial (trivial being apt-get'ting some crap and tweaking the client) to get nfs working. You'll need a scratchbox environment to compile a kernel and then flash your device with that.
PITA, especially for something we are likely to get another beta version of in the coming weeks. This is definately a feature request.

Yes, definitely PITA ^__^

Thanks a lot for your help, I del.icio.us-ed that link, then I'll wait for the official release before doing anything, don't want to to the same job two times...

Edit
I'm not so involved into sending messages to developers, bugzilla etc. but, if there is anyway to ask for this feature to anyone, I would appreciate someone to tell me, I used to connect nfs frequently to see videos saved on my pc HDD.

Can anyone help me please? I have a white spot on the place of the email menu button on the task navigator (between internet and tools buttons).
I am using the new 2006 beta. Originally I did not have this problem but all of a sudden this button was gone and I can't seem to get it back.

I experienced the same problem, a white spot in the Mail place, whilst the mail was shift up by one and no Internet icon.

Solved by accessing the Control Panel, selecting "Task Navigator" and at the top selecting again "Web". Now all is at its own place. I would give it a try.

I find quite strange that they took the "Check mail" option off, in the mail menu on the task navigator.

Now if you want to check for new mail you'll have to start the Mail application, insn't it?

Brick my N770 last night when I try to enable root from ubuntu. Got the same problem Clay's having, vertical lines and white background. The device is booting up but the graphic is all mess up. Flashing works but doesn't solve the graphic problem. So people, be warn " You can brick your device when you trying to enable root on the 2006 OS. I am send it back to Nokia for repair. The repair form's is telling me to send the device to Melbourne, Florida is that correct? Is that a third party repair center? Anybody got some exprience with Nokia's warrenty?

Have you tried removing the dev mode?

I think Nokia and SE contract out to Arvato in FL to do their repairs and firmware flashes for all their hardware. I sent them my w600 a few months ago for repairs. Be prepared not to get any updates if you try calling customer service though, they'll just be like, "its in repair." I got that answer when I called and then later that day, it was delivered to my door.
