strange… I let the system boot, and then manually mounted /tmp like :

mount /dev/hda3 /tmp

it worked!

why won’t this mount at boot ???

is it possible that this error is due to the fact that I named the partition /tmp ?

2005.1 / 2.6.12-r6

reboot after basic install, I get a message that says

mount: wrong fstype, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda3 or too many mounted filesystems

* error mounting local filesystems

in fstab –

/dev/hda3         /tmp     reiserfs             noatime,notail   0 0
