This can't be the cause. The line is correct.

what this proc mount is for. as i haven’t created it.

"The proc file system is a pseudo-file system which is used as an
interface to kernel data structures. It is commonly mounted at /proc." -
http://linux.die.net/man/5/proc

There's an entry in fstab, when /proc is NOT on it's own partition.
You also can try


proc            /proc           proc    nodev,noexec,nosuid 0       0

ok, after changing it, still facing the same error. however my system
is running formal. beside from this failed error.



"dev / nodev
   Interpret/do not interpret block special devices on the filesystem..
exec / noexec
   exec lets you execute binaries that are on that partition, whereas
noexec does not let you do that. noexec might be useful for a partition
that contains no binaries, like /var, or contains binaries you do not
want to execute on your system, or that cannot even be executed on your
system. Last might be the case of a Windows partition.
suid / nosuid
   Permit/Block the operation of suid, and sgid bits." -

Perhaps this prevents against something fishy.
