Fstab emergency mode

Postby aydos » Jun 4th, '14, 17:51

Hello all,
I've just recently installed mageia 4 but each time i boot on mageia there is a message : "welcome to emergency mode..., enter root password to enter maintenance or ctrl + d to continue".
Problem is, pressing ctrl + d does nothing but looping to press ctrl + d again.
To access desktop, i have to enter my bootable usb key (used for the installation) and then emergency mode goes off and I can acces desktop.
I have no idea why, so I've searched online and I found that fstab could cause this, i opened it with Vi and i got this :

Code: Select all
# Entry for /dev/sda6 :
UUID=fd5b76ec-c937-46d9-b634-cafd1ea9424e / ext4 acl,noatime 1 1

# Entry for /dev/sda7 :

none /proc proc defaults 0 0
# Entry for /dev/sda8 :
UUID=bf19fa24-ad13-4907-be28-296675cd70eb swap swap defaults 0 0


I don't understand this so i'm asking for help,
thanks in advance

Either delete that line or comment it, by adding # at the beginning of it. It is best not to have fstab entries for hot-pluggable devices. This fstab entry is the result of a bug in the installer.
