Some questions:

Did you emerge system?
If you're using XFS, did you remember to emerge sys-apps/xfsprogs?
If you're using LVM, did you remember to emerge sys-apps/lvm-user?
Are you sure that your /etc/fstab doesn't have an error in it?
Try explicitly specifying a filesystem in /etc/fstab rather than using "auto".

Best Regards,

Yes sure!

>If you're using XFS, did you remember to emerge sys-apps/xfsprogs?

No i use reiserfs on root, reiserfs on lvm for /usr, /var and /home

>If you're using LVM, did you remember to emerge sys-apps/lvm-user?

Mhh, yes... but the problem seems to be that it doesnt find a app named 'auto'

No error, all explicitly spcified... no type auto, all working partitions 'reiserfs'
