More information on this error.
I installed 7.0 and try to upgrade with 7.1 and I still get the error. Why
would they be setting up filesystems in an upgrade in any case?
The ACTUAL ERROR shown when I exit install is as follows:
Entering Step "'Setup filesystems'
error resetting /mnt/etc/mtab at usr/bin/perl-install/fs.pm line 313
Is there ANY way to upgrade manually that is reasonable to do. I could boot
to version 7 and do it if it is a reasonable thing to do..
BOY I hope they fix this!
