Solved the mount problem with Etch :) I had to disable device-mapper. I followed the instructions in the following posting and commented out all references to dm-mod and dm-mirror. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=494987 Cheers, Brendan. Brendan Simon wrote: I'm

I'm thinking that the problem may not be the kernel after all. I rebooted using the 2.6.8 kernel and it still didn't work, so now I'm thinking it may be something in Etch rather than the kernel ?? Should the 2.6.8 Sarge kernel work with an Etch installation ??? It is an upgrade from Sarge to

2007-04-19 Thread Brendan Simon
