I had a weird issue with fsck on bootup. It says /dev/sda is in use, then fails the fsck to the Repair Filesystem prompt: fsck.ext3: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sda Filesystem mounted or opened exclusively by another program? I had to edit /etc/rc.sysinit to have it ignore this error just to be able to boot up the first time... /dev/sda isn't mentioned in /etc/fstab: /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1 UUID=523e895a-22b7-4a7a-80dc-261faf0bd57a /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0 But I think the /boot entry is being recognized/mapped to /dev/sda somehow. It doesn't mount on bootup, and trying to mount it manually: [root at sun ~]# mount /boot mount: /dev/sda already mounted or /boot busy I think this is because Anaconda messed something up with the partitioning. Is there supposed to be free space left at the beginning of the disk for the Sun Diskabel? [root at sun ~]# fdisk -l /dev/sda Detected sun disklabel with wrong version [0x00000000].
