I am using k6-2 450 so you can eliminate that factor, but I find the 
fact that you upgraded from ext2 interesting.  I wonder if the result is 
the same as a clean ext3 install or if there is some sort of kudging 
involved?  / and /boot on separate drives could be confusing something I 
suppose and the fact that you went the upgrade route and not the clean 
install route, well upgrades are notorious for wierd problems but I 
think a connection with disk audit problems would be unlikely, assuming 
your initscripts is current for 8.1.  Hopefully someone on the list can 
spot some pattern here and come up with a  solution.
