Hi Bipin, The failure unmounting nfs filesystem is most likely because it is trying to unmount the filesystem that didn't get mounted on startup (the exchange we had over the weekend about the startup error). Or perhaps it got mounted but was not available during shutdown. Manually mounting and unmounting your part time nfs drive should fix this error, if it concerns you. /dev/hda2 is your boot partition which fedora is calling /dev/sda2. The different device names is because fedora has gone to the newer (pata) driver for hard drives which uses 'sda' for ide drives whereas the older driver used 'hda'. I'm a bit puzzled by the other partitions. I would expect knoppix to see LogVol00 since it is an ext3 filesystem, but I've never used logical volume or volume groups at all - I always manually partition when I install and haven't used vol groups (I like to have /home on a seperate partition). It looks like there's nothing wrong with your system, but that knoppix doesn't know how to access your volume groups. If this is the case then a re-install would give the same results. Unless you choose to manually partition the drive, and don't use volume groups. It doesn't seem like there's much broken on the current installation from what you've told us. PAUL
