Please check, if the fstab generation file exists: /usr/lib/prebaseconfig.d/40fstab If it's exist try to run it from hand on console 2 (tty2) and check teh output, maybe this program failes with some errors. If the script doesn't exist, please check if you can download the di-utils-generic package, and the recheck no 1 again. Did you have mounted something under /etc? Sorry for the questions, but I don't know the contents and the start of the autobuilded images. Thanks for the help, Thorsten -- Thorsten Sauter <tsauter@gmx.net> (Is there life after /sbin/halt -p?)
