nfs lockd error message

[prabhakara_r]

hi all,
   i am getting an error message "portmap: server localhost not responding, timed out" followed by "portmap: makesock failed, error = -5" after  I recompiled the kernel with some changes in tcp files under ipv4 dir. the system hangs for minutes and then boots as usual. though i am damn sure that i haven't done any changes to NFS source code, i am still getting this error message. subsequently the system also shows "NFS lockd failed" while shutting down.could anyone of u pls tell me why i am getting this error and how to solve this problem. 

 kindly CC the suggestion to email address:

thanks in advance!
