during boot up and it is scanning for harddisk partitions and creating /etc/fstab

i get the following line twice?
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module minix

You probably made a swap partiton and never formatted it with mkswap. It is usually caused by a mismatch of the listed partition type with what is actually there. Nothing to worry about, but you should correct it.

You should probably look first.
sudo fdisk -l /dev/hda
Which partition is type 82?
The error could also be caused by having an unformatted regular type 83 partition. Do you know what is on your partitions?
