I didn't have more clues. There is no file system corruption, just when you type mount it would say /dev/hda1 on / type unknown (rw,commit=0) Other then that everything was fine, but it did cause problems with laptopmode as with journaled file systems you need to remount the file system with the right commit option and you need to know the file system for that. I had the same behavior on 3 different computers and there is no reason actually that file system corruption will cause this, since if the file system is mounted then the file system type is known. That would mean that the problem would be either a bug with mount or with the kernel, or a feature of one off them that is being misused by something else. BTW I just saw that it was fixed, at least for me in unstable after an upgrade last night. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
