See fstab example here: /dev/sda1 /boot ext2 noatime 1 2 /dev/sda2 / xfs noatime 0 1 /dev/sda3 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,ro 0 0 To the OP. Never part of a file asked for help. There might be something in the file unknown to you that is pertinent to the problem. You have "default" in your /etc/fstab line for /boot, when the option is actually "defaults". I haven't tested to see what difference that makes, but you should add the s to default anyway. See "man mount".
