Comment 10 for bug 27915

Hi!

Sorry for the late answer, but I havent seen youre answer earlier.

First of all I could find a solution to my problem. It was a wron
entry in the menu.lst. There was the line:
# kopt=root=/dev/hda8 ro
in the menu.lst

After I changed it to
# kopt=root=/dev/hda9 ro
I could install any kernel or run update-grub (what was the real
problem) and everything still runs fine.

Hope, that this helps you, but I have no idea why this entry was wrong.

Here ist the output of fstab:

$ cat /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda9 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro
0 1
/dev/hda10 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0
/dev/hdd /media/cdrom1 iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0

/dev/hda8 /backup/ ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 0
/dev/hda1 /windows/win_c vfat rw,user,uid=1000 0 0
/dev/hda5 /windows/win_d vfat rw,user,uid=1000 0 0
/dev/hda6 /windows/win_e vfat
rw,user,exec,gid=krasnoj,umask=007 00
/dev/hda7 /windows/win_f vfat rw,user,uid=1000 0 0
/dev/hdb1 /windows/win_g vfat rw,user,uid=1000 0 0

Then mount:
# mount
/dev/hda9 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
/dev/hda8 on /backup type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
/dev/hda1 on /windows/win_c type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000)
/dev/hda5 on /windows/win_d type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000)
/dev/hda6 on /windows/win_e type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,gid=1000,umask=007)
/dev/hda7 on /windows/win_f type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000)
/dev/hdb1 on /windows/win_g type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000

Cheers Stefan
