About problems with modifing mtab I did a simple solution. I had a problem for modifing the mtab file the file that you NEVER have to touch. I modified it, and when I tried to reboot my linux box but unfortunately when the boot hangs on: Setting /boot/System.map to the current running kernel The easy way that I found was a thing that Luis Palomero and Colin Watson puts on a comp.os.linux.setup and was this. Boot the linux box and write when the lilo boots: linux (or the name of your kernel) init=/bin/bash #after check your partition e2fsck -C -c -p -v /dev/(your / partition) #remount / with -n option mount -n -o remount,rw / #delete the mtab file and reboot. With this few steps I resolved my similar problem. The next thing you have to do is write on I paper 1000 time as I did "I will never touch the mtab file" ;) Leo
