In my openSUSE 11.2 the fsck progress bar is not shown even if I boot the system in text mode. How can I enable it?
What file system are you using? Not all display the progress bar. ReiserFS for example. What settings do you have on the FS? IS it set to fsck on every boot? Every 25th boot? Every 90 days? What? Are you running a laptop on battery? See man e2fsck.conf and man tune2fs
From man tune2fs
-c max-mount-counts Adjust the number of mounts after which the filesystem will be checked by e2fsck(8). If max-mount-counts is 0 or -1, the number of times the filesystem is mounted will be disregarded by e2fsck(8) and the kernel. Staggering the mount-counts at which filesystems are forcibly checked will avoid all filesystems being checked at one time when using journaled filesystems. ... -C mount-count Set the number of times the filesystem has been mounted. If set to a greater value than the max-mount-counts parameter set by the -c option, e2fsck(8) will check the filesystem at the next reboot.

It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies, the robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S.
