Hi all,
I'm having problems with mounting /proc at boot time. The fstab entry is correct
" /proc /proc proc defaults " but I must always hand mount /proc after boot. I
am running linux on a 486/50Dx clone, 16 Mb of memory, and a A1542c with a 100 mb
hard drive. Linux resides on the whole drive in one partition. I have no swap
because as I understand it, the FAQ says that I do not need it with the amount of
core memory I have on the system. So here are the symptoms :
1. On boot-up I get the message "mount unchecked ext2 partition"
2. In multi-user mode as root (or any user) I type df. It complains
about /proc not being mounted. I mount it and df works but, it doesn't
give stats on the / (sda1) partition.
my fstab :
/dev/sda1 ext2 defaults
/proc /proc proc defaults
*** The sda1 entry looks suspect but, I dont know enough about linux
to know what it should look like. Also after install the /proc
entry was not there...I had to enter it in.
My Question - Did I screw up something during install ? Did linux screw up (i.e.
is there a patch for this problem) ? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Lance.
