I have completed a frugal install on a machine with 2 Windows partitions (FAT16). Here are the errors I am getting when I try to mount the second partition:
[/home/dsl]# mount /dev/hda2
mount: relocation error: mount: undefined symbol: blkid_known_fstype
[/home/dsl]# mount -t vfat /dev/hda2 /mnt/hda2
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda2,
      or too many mounted file systems

Is there a maximum number of mounted file systems?

However, hda1 can be mounted without problems (and I remember that initially I was able to mount hda2).

I copy below fstab, mtab and menu.lst entry (grub).

Any help would be appreciated.

fstab:

OK, these messages mean that the file system is corrupted.
The problem is that apparently it was corrupted when mounted by DSL (as msdos / vfat).
No other solution than reformatting.
