This looks _very similar_ to the amd mounting problems that happen since 114.
I got ENOSYS errors on mount syscall too. UP kernel.
The scheduler was changed and some mount stuff broke.
As a temporary workaround you might try to back out the sched.c changes in
2.1.114 (2 first hunks of sched.c changes).
