There are multiple possible reasons for this. Make sure you're using the
correct initrd, and try specifying the NFS server by IP instead of by
name. 
If this doesn't help, provide the last 25 lines of kernel output,
possibly by making available a physical screenshot (with large enough
resolution) or a virtual one (depending on your setup).
