fstab: Several FSes listed. / is defaults,ro. /proc and /tmp are explicitly listed, the other tmpfs mounts are not listed (/dev/shm, etc). /proc/cmdline: auto BOOT_IMAGE=Linux > Can you provide the output from 'ls /etc/rcS.d/'?

Conventional solution to mtab (symbolic link to /proc/mounts). I've got a similar system currently using the Debian built kernel and this problem isn't occuring (which is why I suspect this step used to be handled by both initrd and initscripts, but the version from initscripts got dropped; geeze, 2.6.26 is interesting to configure). You didn't ask for it, but I figure I should provide it anyway: :-) /etc/rcS.d: S01glibc.sh S02hostname.sh S02mountkernfs.sh S03udev S04mountdevsubfs.sh S05bootlogd S05initrd-tools.sh S07hdparm S08hwclockfirst.sh S09scsitools-pre.sh S10checkroot.sh S11hwclock.sh S12mtab.sh S20module-init-tools S22scsitools.sh S25libdevmapper1.01 S25libdevmapper1.02 S30checkfs.sh S35mountall.sh S36mountall-bootclean.sh S36udev-mtab -- (\___(\___(\______ --=> 8-) EHM <=-- ______/)___/)___/) \BS ( | e...@gremlin.m5p.com PGP F6B23DE0 | ) / \_CS\ | _____ -O #include <stddisclaimer.h> O- _____ | / _/ 2477\___\_|_/DC21 03A0 5D61 985B <-PGP-> F2BE 6526 ABD2 F6B2\_|_/___/3DE0 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
