Currently working and running kernel on my 7.10 installation is
2.6.20-16-386.
Problem.
During the initial boot process, /boot file system and my external drives are
not mounted. It fails with the following error: file system is already mounted
or another process is currently using it.
At that point I am given a choice of dropping to a shell for further
diagnostics or pressing Ctrl-D to continue. After dropping to a shell
and trying to perform an fsck, a file system busy error is displayed. I
cannot mount /boot nor my external USB drives.
I am at a loss here. What was the major change in I/O stack between .20
and .22 kernel series? Something is executed before all partition and
file systems have a chance to get mounted. Reverting back to my working
kernel (2.6.20-16-386) solves my issue but what about 2.6.22?
