Description Dave Hodgins 2013-03-10 02:45:49 CET

After installing gnome using Mageia-3-beta3-x86_64-DVD.iso,
I removed the two usb sticks that were inserted, and rebooted.

The system dropped to an emergency shell due to the fstab entry
# Entry for /dev/sdd1 :
UUID=A792-1287 /media/windows vfat umask=0,iocharset=utf8 0 0

Either removable devices should not be included in fstab,
or the nofail option added.

from above bug:

>the thing is that it's upgrading fstab with all medias, and if it cannot find it in real time and space then booting is just stops

I think this could be critical

btw do you realise that putting into root dir is meant i got to copy it into another directory? because users can't read root and running browser with root is not so good thing, so maybe some symlinks can be created? for a first user, that was doing the installation?

Comment 5 Thierry Vignaud 2013-03-14 19:56:15 CET

This was beta2 with drakx-15.20
Beta3 should be OK

Comment 6 ra oeai 2013-03-14 20:08:16 CET

then maybe just write the name of the boot-nonfree.iso like
mageia3-beta3-network-install.iso?
right now they are absolutely the same so maybe i've just missed one and pointed to the wrong iso... srry

Reopening as the bug is still present.  As far as I can
tell, this is a problem in the standard installer itself.

Comment 8 Dave Hodgins 2013-03-25 04:14:13 CET

See comment 7 and it's attached report.bug.gz

Either the removable media should not be added to fstab, or
the nofail option added.

i think mount points that are not or are not in /usr or /boot or /var or /bin or /lib or /proc or /sys or /dev or /tmp should have nofail added.

if you have a windows on a seperate partition and it breaks for some reason, you still want to boot your linux.

Should be fixed since I fixed missing 'media_type' as part of bug #9674

Confirming it's fixed with the boot-nonfree.iso from Apr  9 16:22
