Hi, I'm not using an initrd.img file to boot. The FC1 can see|mount other "LABEL=" partitions listed in fstab except this one. On the system disk I have an extended logical partition. The "LABEL=/usr", "LABEL=/alexa", "LABEL=/0" and "LABEL=/var" and other 3 swap parititions are all on the extended Logical partition, All other 3 "LABEL=*" partitions are detected and mounted well, except "LABEL=/var" partitions. The error message are always: " ... fsck.ext3 for device LABEL=/var exited with signal 11. ..." Then I'm in single user mode, while now I can run "mount /var" without any problems. Too strange. My system disk partitions table is: -bash-2.05b# sfdisk -l /dev/hda Disk /dev/hda: 9729 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors/track Units = cylinders of 8225280 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0 Device Boot Start End #cyls #blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 0+ 130 131- 1052226 83 Linux /dev/hda2 131 9728 9598 77095935 5 Extended /dev/hda3 0 - 0 0 0 Empty /dev/hda4 0 - 0 0 0 Empty /dev/hda5 131+ 783 653- 5245191 83 Linux /dev/hda6 784+ 1045 262- 2104483+ 82 Linux swap /dev/hda7 1046+ 1307 262- 2104483+ 82 Linux swap /dev/hda8 1308+ 1569 262- 2104483+ 82 Linux swap /dev/hda9 1570+ 2222 653- 5245191 83 Linux /dev/hda10 2223+ 2353 131- 1052226 83 Linux /dev/hda11 2354+ 9728 7375- 59239656 83 Linux In my kernel config, I've enabled Ext3 support surely, :) and the following Partitions type support: # # Partition Types # CONFIG_PARTITION_ADVANCED=y # CONFIG_ACORN_PARTITION is not set # CONFIG_OSF_PARTITION is not set # CONFIG_AMIGA_PARTITION is not set # CONFIG_ATARI_PARTITION is not set # CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION is not set CONFIG_MSDOS_PARTITION=y CONFIG_BSD_DISKLABEL=y # CONFIG_MINIX_SUBPARTITION is not set CONFIG_SOLARIS_X86_PARTITION=y # CONFIG_UNIXWARE_DISKLABEL is not set # CONFIG_LDM_PARTITION is not set # CONFIG_SGI_PARTITION is not set # CONFIG_ULTRIX_PARTITION is not set CONFIG_SUN_PARTITION=y # CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION is not set CONFIG_SMB_NLS=y CONFIG_NLS=y ... Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Are you using an initrd? IIRC label support requires it. Another option would be to just put the dev entries in your fstab instead of the label. -- William Hooper -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
