Hello, I am running Debian Testing, kernels 2.6.12-1-686 and 2.6.12-1-686-smp and upgraded recently a number of base packages, including udev, cpio, xorg but also basic services config files, kde, etc. Since the upgrade, at each bootup of either kernel, I see the following message printed in red:
"Mounting local filesystems... failed!" The laptop proceeds with the booting, and everything comes up just fine. The above message does not appear in any log file in /var/log. Nothing seems wrong with the mounted filesystems. My /etc/fstab is as follows (and this is how it was also before the upgrade): # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda3 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/hda2 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/hda1 /media/winxp ntfs ro,user,noauto,umask=000 0 0 /dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0 /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 vfat rw,users,noauto 0 0 and the output of "mount" is /dev/hda3 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro) proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw) tmpfs on /dev type tmpfs (rw,size=10M,mode=0755) I know this is very scarse information. If anyone has any idea what might be going wrong, or where I should look for more clues, I would be very grateful. Thanks in advance, Dominique
