If I reboot or shutdown and boot, the filesystem is corrupted and boot stalls midway thru starting up services. Suspsend to swap and resume does not have this problem. Booting the rescue disk and running fsck on both root and home partition (ext3 and ReiserFS, respectively) fixes the problem. It is fairly consistent when it stalls if I try booting again. But when changes after FS repair. fscking the root partion alone is not sufficient. fscking both partitions works.

Has anyone seen anything like this and have a solution?
TIA, Jeffrey
Not this exact problem, but lots of strange booting problems on Reiser filesystems. Problems included programs not running properly, corruption of the home directory and all sorts of startup problems that made no sense. Further strangeness: on one system, if I booted into the rescue system and wrote a file (any size) into /etc, then the system would boot. All the problems were hard drives going bad and I had little more warning than that. I don't know if this is helpful, but it's my experience. Good luck, Jim
