That's what I found in the log: The following NEW packages will be installed: kernel-image-2.4.26-1-mckinley-smp 0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 0B/24.6MB of archives. After unpacking 72.0MB of additional disk space will be used. Selecting previously deselected package kernel-image-2.4.26-1-mckinley-smp.

The partition list looks like this: /dev/ida/disc0/part1 on /target type ext2 (rw) /dev/ida/disc0/part3 on /target/home type ext2 (rw) /dev/ida/disc0/part4 on /target/tmp type ext2 (rw) /dev/ida/disc0/part2 on /target/usr type ext2 (rw) /dev/ida/disc0/part5 on /target/var type ext2 (rw) but the /target/etc/fstab shows: /dev/ida/c0d0p1 / ext2 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/ida/c0d0p3 /home ext2 defaults 0 2 /dev/ida/c0d0p4 /tmp ext2 defaults 0 2 /dev/ida/c0d0p2 /usr ext2 defaults 0 2 /dev/ida/c0d0p5 /var ext2 defaults 0 2 /dev/ida/c0d0p6 none swap sw 0 0 How come does the /target/etc/fstab look like this if there's no such directory /dev/ida not talking about the devices in it? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
