Here is the error that I get (modified snippet from boot message below). I upgraded from a base slink distribution to potato. The upgrade process indicated that I should get rid of portmapper from the startup files manually. I did that but still this message won't go away.
I am not even sure that portmapper causes this. Any ideas ? Thanks. Checking all file systems... Parallelizing fsck version 1.18 (11-Nov-1999) Setting kernel variables.
