Hi, I still can't get this resolved.
When I try to boot I get an error that /dev/hda9 and /dev/hda8 are already
mounted, can't continue, and drop's me to root for maintenance with
password.
Once there, I can't unmount /hda8 because it is in use. If I switch
runlevels to single user mode, I can unmount both drives, but whatever I do,
the same thing happens when I reboot.
Please help!
