I have attached fstab. It has the paritions configured with root =
/dev/dha7 ext3, which is correct. I ran the e2fsck (because it said that
is had been over 12000 days since the last test, due to not resetting the
clock), and it reported no problems, 1.1% fragmentation.
What should I be using instead of devfs?

OK, I didn't have the devfs loaded into the kernel, so the new version

the root filesystem.
You shouldn't use devfs. It's obsolete. Which liveCD / stage are you
installing from? Which profile are you using?
warning, no fsck.ext3 found.
Error: mounting an ext2 partition failed on /dev/hda7 (a little
different wording), Bad superblock, etc
type cntrl-D to cancel, or enter root passwd to fix:
and it is frozen (no keyboard recognised)
There is a copy of fsck.ext3 on /sbin/, so I think that it is not in
the initrd. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Is /dev/hda7 an ext2 partition? Are you sure you have your partition
numbering right and that your fstab reflects your partition layout?

could this be caused by my PRAM battery being DEAD (is says the year is 1904)
thanks,

Also, I configured in both EXT2 and EXT3 kernel support...
