I tried to erase existing partitions, but got the error above. Finally, I did low-level format on the hard drive with the same outcome (multiple times). I tried putting partitions in various orders, but the EFI partition was the one to always fail to mount... It seems like it either did not get formatted properly, or was mounted with some wrong parameter(s). > What do you mean with only "?/?" is mounted? Sorry, it is the editor who did it. It just means /, I put quotation marks around it. I am in the Yahoo editor, and now worried about how the message I'm typing right now will come out... > /etc/fstab doesn't contain the file systems you're > creating with > sysinstall.
