Yes, it helped, but then I got errors for other lines in my 'fstab' so I added " 0 0" to the end of those lines. Now the install works. (And much appreciation for the accurate diagnostics!) Looks like 'yaird' is finicky about 'fstab' formats. Supposing there's a good reason for that... if so it might be better for users if the 'yaird' installer script checked 'fstab' when upgrading or replacing 'initrd' systems, then after finding such malformed 'fstab' lines it could offer to correct those -- but if correcting those was unfeasible, it should advise users that their 'fstab' needs fixing. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
