The installation image=E2=80=99s root is mounted by label.  So if you happe=
n to
have a different partition with the label =E2=80=98gnu-disk-image=E2=80=99,=
 then it may
end up mounting the wrong partition.  That=E2=80=99s what=E2=80=99s happeni=
ng here,
right?

If so, the solution would be to change the label of your own partition
to avoid the name clash.

Ideally we would mount by UUID but I think that was impractical when I
looked at it.

Ludo=E2=80=99.
