Dear Klar Brian I'm sorry for write this email later, because I have read that you installed all again. Otherwise, I don't know if it could be helpful to you. Sometime ago, I had a problem with the mtab file. I edited it. You didn't realize that have make a great error, but, the machine will not boot. As Charles Curley said "You should never, ever, edit /etc/mtab. That is entirely mountd's sandbox. Leave it alone.". The little solution is to boot and in the lilo write: init=/bin/bash then the machine boots, and you have a shell. After, you have to edit the fstab, but the / partition is mounted is ro, so you have to remount the partition mount -n -o remount, rw / the important parameter is the -n. It does that the mount program doesn't write the mtab file. You cannot mount or remount, because the mount try to write the mtab file and it cannot do it. Well, I hope that at least, it can help some day.
