> /mnt and execute MAKEDEV in /mnt/dev. > Tried that but that doesn't seem to be the problem. What should mtab have in it after a shutdown? I noticed that the new quota package accesses it with the new program that makes sparse files. Could that be a problem?
I didn't see anything particularly different with my system when I mounted under /mnt. I updated the quota package, cfengine, ae, psutils just before all the problems. Thanks for any help you can provide. I don't want to have to re-install the base but it looks like I might need to. It dies just before the e2fsck checks of all the partitions. Dale
