Hi ! First of all I want to explain my environment:
I had 3 ntfs partitions (500MB, 10Gig, 800MB), 2 Fat32 Partitions (2x10 Gig),3 Gig ext3 for system, 5 Gig Reiser for home and a littlebit swap. Today I tought I didn't need that 800 Meg Ntfs and could delete it and make a ext3 out of that. So I started diskdrake and delete it, causing that all partitions got renumbered. Fine I thought, so diskdrake will rewrite my fstab too. After trying to make a ext3-partition on the 800 Megs of free space, diskdrake told me to restart in order to make the changes take effect. No matter I thought , do a reboot. The effects: -> kernel panic on shutting down -> kernel panic on boot starting rescue mode: -> "/"-partition wasn't there anymore (was there but with filesystem 0xFFFFFF) -> trough the renumbering all entries in fstab was wrong (looked at it before reboot, no matter here since I had at least to do a full install anyway) Now I did a new install and it works all... What I want to mention: diskdrake should not screw up my whole system, at least it should make the fstab entries right after changes in the partitiontable. Thanks god that my /home wasn't screwed.
