It's possible the old mount setting in fstab is still active.
Have you checked mtab to make sure the partition isn't already
mounted?

There are no entries for either drive in mtab.
   

  mtab is generated from fstab, an shouldn't be fooled with

  Brant, try puttin your 1st CD in an check the partitions with the 
installers diskdrake. It could be that when you used diskdrake the 
changes were never made, or the partitions were never formatted for 
XFS, an they're still ReiserFS. Probly cause the partitions weren't 
unmounted. Also, with either ReiserFS or XFS, Civileme use to 
suggest a ext3 /boot partition. IME, it was/is good advice.

I did exactly that and that is what I found.  I posted my findings to 
the expert list last evening.  I forgot to post them here as well. 

Was that "cross-posting"?  If so...sue me (as long as it can be 
demonstrated that the exact same people frequent both lists).  I do what 
it takes to get the job done.  :-P

Thanks for the suggestions. :-)

  IIRC, you're runnin cooker. FWIW, RC1 iso's look like they're 
comin to the mirrors today. The beta2 iso's are gone, and so far 
the RC1 md5sum file is posted. So maybe ya want to wait for those 
before fixin your partitions.

I saw that.
