I installed Mageia a few times on other systems, no problem ( it was on 
desktops)
the one i have the trouble with is a HP-Compaq nx6110. all is fine 
except it.
i'm running vmlinuz-2.6.38.7-netbook-1.mga on this machine.
my /etc/fstab :

# Entry for /dev/sda1 :

# Entry for /dev/sda6 :

none /proc proc defaults 0 0
