Ignore the error about drakvirt. It just means drakvirt is not installed.
It's normal to see this error.

I'm wondering if this is related to problems diskdrake, and the underlying
modules have with some fstab entry names. See
https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=41172#c6

Editing the fstab to use symlinks of /dev/$LVMVolumeGroup/$LogicalVolumeName
instead of the /dev/mapper/$LVMVolumeGroup-$LogicalVolumeName is a workaround
that fixes the problem for lvm filesystems. A similar workaround may work
for the raid volumes. I don't use raid, so can't test it.

Tanks for the reply.

But how do I edit the fstab, or the way diskdrake looks up the volumes
during install?

First thing I do is make a backup copy.
cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab_works
I then
umount /whatever/Ima/about_2_change
You can then use the editor of your choice to edit /etc/fstab
You save the file, then test by mounting whatever you changed.

Now if you are modifying / then I recommend a reboot to verify
system comes up.

Of course you show know how to use a live cd to repair whatever
you changed or at least know how to mount your / and
cp fstab_works fstab

Latest release uses UUID. I found I can label partition using
e2label. During install, I click Expert Mode in diskdrake,
click the partition, select label, highlight, clt-c.
click mount point, click and paste ctl-v.

I have no experience with raid.

Open a terminal program such as konsole,
su -l root
cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.mybackup
kwrite /etc/fstab

Might be better to post a copy of the current fstab here, then after
a few questions about what symlinks exist under /dev, a workaround
setting might get figured out.
