Could you attach your /etc/fstab file please?

/etc/fstab from RH 7.3 

I tried the upgrade with "LABEL=/ / ..." and with "/dev/hda3 / ..." without
change in behavior.

I added /etc/fstab as an attachment. I'll try next with just 'ext2' for / and
/boot...

Comment 5 Seppo Pietikainen 2003-05-23 12:40:51 UTC
I removed 'ext3' from the fstab entries and that did the trick!
So, now I have RH9.0 installed and running (with ext3)

I only wish that 'anaconda' would be more informative in its error messages ;(

I think this bug can be closed now...

Updating subject to reflect root cause.

Fixed in CVS

Comment 8 Jeremy Katz 2006-04-24 18:32:37 UTC
Mass-closing lots of old bugs which are in MODIFIED (and thus presumed to be
fixed).  If any of these are still a problem, please reopen or file a new bug
against the release which they're occurring in so they can be properly tracked.
