NFS does not work

Hi,
I talk about a NFS connection from a linux client to an AIX-Server. NO
special mount options. After transfering about 100MB (varies, but
reproducable) I get a lot of `RPC: task timed out' messages and the
transfer stops forever. There is no way to kill the offending process,
not even `kill -9' works. SAK clears the terminal, but the process still
stays somewhere in the background. Trying umount I get

NFS: Arghhh, stuck RPC requests!

and

nfs_dentry_iput: pending writes for kunert/h2 i_count=1

The messages are from linux-2.1.121, but the same problem occurs with
every kernel I tried so far: 2.0.35 (from redhat-5.1), 2.1.106 and
2.1.119.

The server works flawless for AIX clients. I have tested two linux
systems, so I don't think it's a hardware problem.

Any ideas would be grateful appreciated.
