Well, at least we know that that is not the problem :-}
now that the patch issue is out of the way, does anyone have any idea what may be wrong with my system?
The script responsible for boot up fsck in SuSE 9.3 is /etc/init.d/boot.rootfsck (and /etc/init.d/boot.localfs checks the rest of the partitions). There are several tests it does to determine if the partition should be checked; one is the existence of the file '/forcefsck', for example. Another is that the file '/fastboot' should not exist. Later, the script '/etc/init.d/boot.localfs' deletes '/fastboot'. If I remember correctly, the flag file '/fastboot' is created during halt to denote that the system was properly closed; but I can't find now who creates it. It might be failing, the root partition might be umounted or the system halted before it flushes that file. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFCt/zotTMYHG2NR9URAhUNAJ44ut43bfaNlas0G/CJ8h9jirzVugCfdUCJ 9CnWVUHAEVzLlK15jyDaZrw= =SauO -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
