Re: df: module not found

thanks steve !!!
You wouldn't have any idea if this can be fixed would you ?
I still don't get a long in prompt and my /etc/mtab file
looks something out of dmesg > /etc/mtab 
instead of something like this:

/dev/hda1       /       ext2 rw 0 0
/dev/hda7       /home   ext2 rw 0 0
/dev/hda5       /usr    ext2 rw 0 0
/dev/hda9       /usr/local      ext2 rw 0 0
/dev/hda6       /usr/src        ext2 rw 0 0
/dev/hda8       /var    ext2 rw 0 0
none                    /proc rw   0 0


Thanks for any assistance....
