When I boot into Linux Mint 8, I get an error message saying "Mountall failed to start" and it doesn't give me any clear explanation as to why. My fstab file is still at default settings, I checked it, and compaired it to the LiveCD version. I even reinstalled mountall via Synaptic, and did a e2fsck fon the drive from the LiveCD, but nothing has fixed my problem. None of my drives show up under "Computer" because of this. It's really annoying having to open Disk Manager to mount the volumes.
Here's my fstab output:
[code]
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
UUID=d446e2e8-8bcc-431c-ad71-f1f8090d28ed / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
UUID=5395462e-4c8c-414a-8fc6-15fa34b4adfe none swap sw 0 0
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
[/code]
Google has turned up many possibilities with nothing that works for me...
Does anyone have a solution? :h:
wait, you were able to boot the computer despite not actually mounting all the disks?
Or are you running the LiveCD?

I was always able to fully boot, just my drives never showed up under Computer.

After deleting my swap partition and re-creating it with mkswap, everything seems to be working fine now. My fstab file looks normal again, not scattered around. Things are running much better. :h:
