Thanks, Mike.
This is the actual partition table
(with just one swap partition, as suggested by Mikkel):
win98 hda1
10.1 / hda9
10.1 /home hda10
9.1 / hda5
swap hda6
9.1 /home hda8
. Now, this is the 10.1 /etc/fstab:
/dev/hda9 / ext3 defaults 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
/dev/hda10 /home ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,
noauto,ro,exec,users 0 0
/dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom2 auto umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,
noauto,ro,exec,users 0 0
none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=ext2:vfat,--,umask=0,
iocharset=iso8859-15,sync,codepage=850 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda6 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hda5 /mnt/linux2 ext3 defaults 1 2
, and this is the 9.1 /etc/fstab:
/dev/hda5 / ext3 defaults 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
/dev/hda8 /home ext3 defaults 1 2
none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/hdc,fs=auto,ro,--,
iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,umask=0 0
0
none /mnt/cdrom2 supermount dev=/dev/scd0,fs=auto,ro,--,
iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,umask=0 0
0
none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=auto,--,
iocharset=iso8859-15,sync,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda6 swap swap defaults 0 0
. How to correct it?
Maybe you mean that in the 9.1 fstab the line
/dev/hda5 / ext3 defaults 1 1
should be changed into
/dev/hda5 /mnt/linux2 ext3 defaults 1 2
? But wouldn't this mount the /dev/hda5
into a subdirectory /mnt/linux2 of the /dev/hda5's root directory itself?
(And this way create confusion?)
During the boot of 10.1 I read every time the following message:
Mounting other filesystems: mount: none already mounted or dev/pts busy
[FAILED]
. Maybe the modem problem coud be related to it?
I'm sending a new thread about this.
Cheers,
Rodolfo
