(Sorry my english is not very good) Hi! Then I install RH 8.0 the fstab is incorrect This is my original fstab [root@localhost tmp]# cat /etc/fstab.bak LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 /dev/hda4 swap swap defaults 0 0 and RH is not starting up with this Then I correct fstab to... root@localhost tmp]# cat /etc/fstab /dev/hda3 / ext3 defaults 1 1 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 /dev/hda4 swap swap defaults 0 0 .. RH is starting up correctly. I have many partitions [root@localhost tmp]# fdisk -l /dev/hda Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 7299 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 1275 10241406 c Win95 FAT32 (LBA) /dev/hda2 1276 6380 41005912+ f Win95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/hda3 6381 7216 6715170 83 Linux /dev/hda4 7217 7299 666697+ 82 Linux swap /dev/hda5 1276 2550 10241406 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hda6 2551 5738 25607578+ b Win95 FAT32 /dev/hda7 5739 6380 5156833+ 7 HPFS/NTFS And now it's working. I have lilo on /dev/hda and now all is good that's all Mirabilis_Jalapa jalapa
What's the error on startup?
Oh it's long error message. I don't know how I can take it up or is it possible. But it's something like that all is starting ok to /clean , 114821/1678792 files 533657/1678792 blocks Remounting root filesystem readwrite mode mount: LABEL=/ dublicate -not mounted [Failed] and long words error Read-only file system starting stop to Starting system logger: I need only change on fstab LABEL=/ to /dev/hda3 and rh is starting up.

Hm, somehow you have duplicate labels in your setup. Normally anaconda is what writes labels.
Do you have any Linux partitions on any other disks?
Yes I have second harddrive and on /dev/hdb have EZ-BIOS because it's my old hd (from another pc) and I have not time to erase that :) ? I take it to use then I have time todo that.

Did you have the second drive connected when you did your installation? I'm pretty sure we should be catching it if so and labeling the new root appropriately (as something like /1), but I'll have to put together a system to verify that
Yes it was connected then I install RH. And RH setup notified the harddrive hdb partitiontable is incorrect do U want "setup" (I dont remember what is orginal message) this drive? Mirabilis_Jalapa
Aha, that means that we didn't recognize the drive and so didn't look for any labels on it. Matt, is there a problem with parted and the ezdrive stuff?
I don't know, or I don't remember have parted problems or not, because I wiped my second harddrive and repartitioning it. Now all is good. Mirabilis_Jalapa
This shouldn't be a problem anymore with current releases.
