Bug in latest Ubuntu and Debian Lenny.

Apperantly several people have had issues with the latest releases of Debian Lenny and Ubuntu.

A bug causes fstab to think that /dev/sr0 is a mountable device, therefore tries to automount it which causes a buffer overflow.

Apperantly many victims of this bug has got the impression that their harddrives was crashed, but since the fstab overflows and crashes it prevents the rest of the devices to mount, wich therefore causes a Kernel Panic, wich is typical to a harddrive failure.
