I remember having trouble with the 'auto' setting. I think it was that
when the standard 2.4.18 kernel booted up it first tried to find ext2
file systems, which all 'auto' entries matched. Then later it loaded
the ext3 modules, which promptly found nothing. Basically, my auto
entry always got mounted as ext2. On the laptop I only had one FS, the
root FS, and perhaps that might have been the reason 'auto' did not
work for me.

I could be wrong, or might have done something wrong back then. But if
some one can confirm and/or enlighten me it would be much appreciated.

Cheers!
