I had this problem here's the details cut from earlier mail: The upshot is that if /proc/1/ exists(the /proc directory for PID 1, aka /sbin/init), it won't get mounted. This is because /proc is generally mounted by /etc/init.d/checkroot.s; which tests for /proc/1/ before running 'mount -n /proc'. I don't know what kind of effects having /proc mounted on-top of another /proc would have, but I imagine it could be bad. And, at any rate, it's stupid to have that :) So the check is reasonable. -- Richard A. Smith Bitworks, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED] 501.846.5777 x204 Sr. Design Engineer http://www.bitworks.com
