	I have found out more about the subfs issue:

	1. Commenting out the lines for the removable media has eliminated
this error.

	2. There is a subfs module out there that I can rebuild to work with
the new kernel, since the only subfs systems were the CD-ROM and the Floppy
drive, this isn't a very serious need to do at this time.
 
	I am still having some issues with the new kernel. Which I believe
is related to NFS.

	Currently, I am running two servers:

	1. Email, Proxy, DHCP, NFS Share of /home

	2. Samba Domain Controller, File backup, Mounts server1's /home as
the local /home (in order to backup the users home directories to backup the
IMAP shares.)

	The primary issue that the server now has is that when I go to log
into the server, using a user account, the login process completely hangs.
Logging in as the root user, I can go into the /home and see the user
directories. However, I am unable to cd into or ls the contents of those
directories. Checking the logs, there are no error messages, just a plain
hardlock of that particular console session. (Which I am able to kill.)
