Problems booting: Mounting local filesystem

protege · n00b Joined: 24 Jun 2002 Posts: 20

I installed gentoo 1.2 and whenever I boot into gentoo, i get these messages

* Mounting local filesystem...
mount: mount point 2 does not exist
mount: mount point 1 does not exist
mount: mount point 0 does not exist
* Some local filesystem failed to mount [!!]

I can log in and do everything fine. One thing I noticed is that /boot is empty, dont know if that is normal. I can mount it with mount -l -t ext2 /dev/hda1 /boot.

My fstab file looks like this:
/dev/hda1 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 2
/dev/hda3 / ext2 noatime 0 1
/dev/hda2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0

I used pretty much exactly what the installation instructions had, except I changed BOOT,ROOT,SWAP.

hda1 is /boot
hda2 is swap
hda3 is /

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Protege

post your /etc/fstab, and we'll take a look.

My fstab is posted up top in the original message. It's just not formatted that well, it looked formatted when I was writing it, but didn't turn out that way.

Nevermind guys. I looked back at fstab, and noticed that my dump/pass where on seperate lines from everything else. When I fixed that, it fixed the problem.
