I had the same error, and the same fix went for me. But it's the kernel that
is the problem - 2.6 seems to not like _any_ tail-options in /etc/fstab -
neither "tail" nor "notail" did it, so I changed it to "defaults", and that
works. Don't know why, I only know that that works :)

Greetings, Dennis
