I've got a message in the log to the effect that its already mounted or is otherwise busy. I'd put that line in rc.sysinit a few (2-3) weeks ago, thinking it needed to be done earlier than the fstab driven mount. I'll remove it from rc.sysinit and reboot for effects. Done. I also moved the mount of /proc/bus/usb to fstab while I was at it, and they are all recorded in mtab now: --- none /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw 0 0 none /sys sysfs rw 0 0 --- But the response from sensors is still as I posted before, "Algorithm: Unavailable from sysfs" tvtime still works, so thats promising. Sounds like they (the Feed Bag Information folks) got something/someone(s) trapped on a plane at Dulles according to FOX News, who are of course makeing the usual mountain out of whats probably a molehill.
