Package: initscripts
Version: 1.13.25
I get this message when I boot. It comes from
/etc/init.d/mountall.sh. when it tries to mount per /etc/fstab. By
commenting out lines in /etc/fstab I found that it's the line which
mounts the proc filesystem on /proc that is causing the problem.
In ubantu I found that the mountall script had: mount ... -t noproc ..
In other words, it doesn't try to mount proc and thus no error message.
When I add noproc to Debian's mountall.sh (after -t of course), the
"Failed!" message disappears.
I checked on the internet and found old instructions (not labelled
"old") that fstab should have a line to mount proc. I'm using a
Debian from several years ago but upgrade it about once a year using
apt-get. So it should be current. But upgrading doesn't seem to modify
fstab (assuming that it shouldn't have a line to mount proc).
So a fix is needed: either use noproc or have upgrades modify
/etc/fstab.
