The last 3 lines mean that your mount expects to see a FAT partition on
/dev/hda1 and it is not there or it has changed (to vfat or to /dev/null
if you got rid of L95 ?). If your machine is multi-boot, you need to boot
into Linux (rescue floppy), scratch /dev/hda1 from /etc/fstab (put a hash
in front of it), and reboot. Then find out what monster lives in your
/dev/hda1 and try to accomodate it.
PS there is no warranty about my being right about anything ;)
