Mounting /home on it's own partition with knoppix HDD install


I'm having some issues trying to mount /dev/hda3 (an ext3 formatted partition) as /home at bootup. I've already moved the one user directory to hda3 and I also created the entry in fstab. The entry looks like this:

--> /dev/hda3 /home ext3 auto,defaults 0 0 <--

At bootup, /dev/hda3 doesn't even mount, as if the fstab entry is ignored.

Then I get this message right before kdm starts:

--> ls: /home/*/Desktop: No such file or directory <-----

All resulting in KDE not being able to start.

What am I doing wrong? How can I fixed this problem?

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Please try not to double post - especially on the same day you posted the original. It is a waste of the site's resources.
