Error in mount.nfs

Hi I'm trying to mount a remote system. A couple weeks ago I was able to mount NFS succesfully, but now I'm getting this error.

[root@koven ~]# showmount -e x.x.x.x
Export list for x.x.x.x:
/export/software                                 (everyone)

[root@koven ~]# mount -t nfs x.x.x.x:/export/software /mnt
mount.nfs: No such device

[root@koven ~]# mount -t nfs x.x.x.x:/export/software /mnt
mount.nfs: No such device

[root@koven ~]# mount -v x.x.x.x:/export/software /mnt 
mount: no type was given - I'll assume nfs because of the colon
mount.nfs: timeout set for Mon Feb  6 21:56:15 2012
mount.nfs: trying text-based options 'vers=4,addr=x.x.x.x,clientaddr=y.y.y.y'
mount.nfs: mount(2): No such device
mount.nfs: No such device

These are the logs

Remote server is a NAS, with NFS v3 and NFS v4 enabled.

I've read a couple of posts talking about NFS is not activated in kernel, but I dont know how to check this in a compiled kernel.

Thanks for your tips

Re: Error in mount.nfs

Have you read through the wiki-page https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nfs#Mounting ?

Are the required daemons running when you try to mount the shares?
