mount.nfs: No such device

[jsivakumar]

I was trying to rebuild the kernel using the tips found in google and screwed my RHEL 5.1 box NFS modules.

This is what I get when I try to mount:

#mount server1:/vol/copy /mnt
mount.nfs: No such device
#

lsmod shows nothing related to nfs.

# lsmod |grep nfs
#
# /etc/init.d/nfs start
Starting NFS services: [ OK ]
Starting NFS quotas: [ OK ]
Starting NFS daemon: [FAILED]
#
# rpcinfo -p localhost
program vers proto port
100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper
100000 2 udp 111 portmapper
100024 1 udp 970 status
100024 1 tcp 973 status
100011 1 udp 704 rquotad
100011 2 udp 704 rquotad
100011 1 tcp 707 rquotad
100011 2 tcp 707 rquotad
#

Now it is obvious that I need to reload the nfs/nfsd modules but don't know how to do it as this is the first time am playing around with modules in Linux.

Any pointers or suggestions please?
