I had the same problem when I upgraded to 5.2 yesterday. You have to
move all lines that have the word 'ignore' to the end of the list. I
just put everything else in order. I think I saw something about it
before on this list, maybe not.
/dev/hda2 /blah
/dev/hdc5 /more_blah (just examples)
/dev/hdd1 /
/dev/cdrom
/dev/fd0
none /proc
automount /misc
/dev/hda1 none ignore 0 0 0
/dev/hda4 none ignore 0 0 0
/dev/hdc1 none ignore 0 0 0
/dev/hdd4 none ignore 0 0 0
It's just a formatted example that works for me...
