Well everything seems to be working, which is in some way even more
confusing to me. I updated e2fsprogs (mount error), util-linux,
e2fsprogs, udev, hal.

Only problem I had was the hal wouldn't restart unless I restarted
smgl-message.  

So the only thing missing from stable was a fix to try to get e2fsprogs
and util-linux all working together?
