Are you setting mount points for any non-Linux partitions?

Comment 4 Phil Copeland 2001-06-24 19:08:02 UTC

Brent, just a caution,  this is for RH7.0

Tommy, could you tell us what machine type you have? sx164? AS1000? what? and
what addition hardware you may have in it.

If you can, try and install the 'sysreport' rpm and attach it's output to this
bug entry

Thanks

Phil
