Hi, thanks for taking the time to submit a bug report.

It looks like the problem is with your /boot filesystem - could you please attach:

* The contents of /proc/mounts
* The contents of /etc/fstab

Thanks!

file /proc/mounts is blank

contents of etc/fstab :

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
