Ronkin: /* Bug in "fstype" */

so have modified my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file using

root@Knoppix:^#mc

in the root shell to "MouseSystems" in the PS2 input section of xorg.conf because my PS2 plugged wheelmouse would be erratic on startup with the existing default "auto".
cannot confirm that this has improved the situation, a change has occured but erratic behaviour persists intermittently.
only solution so far, is to only plug the mouse into the PS2 port after all startup and booting has ceased. the wheelmouse will then act as a nonwheel mouse (even with the MouseSystems modification).
perhaps your improvement has come about as a result of the other modification in bugs you have suggested. havent figured out how to accomplish that modification as yet.

ie. is the new memdisk file empty?
what is the file extension of memdisk (memdisk.xxx)?
etc...

== Bug in "fstype" ==

If you have more than 9 partitions on a drive with partition 1 or any partition above 9 mounted, fstype can return an incorrect partition type.

Original Code:
#
if [ -n "$1" ]; then
# Check if partition is already mounted
while read device mountpoint filesystem relax; do
case "$device" in *$1*)

Just remove the second asterisk after *$1*).

Modified Code:
#
if [ -n "$1" ]; then
# Check if partition is already mounted
while read device mountpoint filesystem relax; do
case "$device" in *$1)

This change allows /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda11 to be uniquely identified. Otherwise the output might be the fstype of the other partition that is mounted. If they are different you get an incorrect result.
