Runnin rh 6.1 with kernel version 2.12-20.
On booting, get message: fsck.ext2 for device /dev/hdb6 exited with
signal 10.
You drop down into shell and then reboot.
On subsequent boot fsck for /dev/hdb6 WORKS, no message.
On booting a Third time, get message: fsck.ext2 for device /dev/hdb6
exited with signal 10.
This flip flops every time.
This is a known bug, I will be releasing e2fsprogs 1.16 shortly to fix
this (and other issues). My apologies for the inconvenience. In the
meantime, here's a patch which fixes the problem, if you're willing to
recompile e2fsprogs....
