I installed SUSE9.3 in a separate slice of my drive, I now run 9.2 . When I finished the 9.3 installed and logged in, none of my existing "extra" partitions got mounted. these are FAT partitions to swap files between XP and SUSE..
Which partitions are we talking about, hdb5 and hdb8? 'cat /etc/mtab' to see what is actually mounted. If these two partitions are not being mounted, I cannot see why, as the "noauto" option is not specified in the fourth column.
here is part of my /etc/fstab. NOTE it shows my new SUSE9.3 partition hdb1 as a WINDOWS partition. when I installed 9.3 I reformatted that
It is listed as reiserfs in the fstab snippet you posted but it is mountable as /windows/D. I think we need to see the entire fstab file for this. bc@PaulsPC:~> cat /etc/fstab /dev/hdb10 / reiserfs acl,user_xattr 1 1 /dev/hda2 /windows/C ntfs ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0 /dev/hdb5 /windows/E vfat users,gid=users,umask=0002,iocharset=utf8 0 0 LABEL=/home2 /home2 reiserfs acl,user_xattr 0 0 /dev/hdb8 /windows/H vfat users,gid=users,umask=0002,iocharset=utf8 0 0 /dev/hdb9 swap swap pri=42 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0

partition as reiserfs. Oh yeah, my current /home partition is also a separate slice, hdb6
Which also seems to be mountable as /windows/F. ie. it appears twice in what you posted.. unusual, to say the least.
