Description:

pacman warns about a separate /boot partition not being mounted when upgrading the kernel when there is a line in /etc/fstab for /boot which is commented out.
the fix is very easy, here is a patch (against the kernel26-2.6.30.6-1's kernel26.install file):

- if grep "/boot" /etc/fstab 2>&1 >/dev/null; then
+ if grep "^[^#]*/boot" /etc/fstab 2>&1 >/dev/null; then
if ! grep "/boot" /etc/mtab 2>&1 >/dev/null; then
echo "WARNING: /boot appears to be a seperate partition but is not mounted"
echo " This is most likely not what you want. Please mount your /boot"

----------------------------------------------------------------

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
- add a commented out line referencing /boot in /etc/fstab
- upgrade the kernel
