I actually have this running at @expert but only had
one response... pretty dead over there...
let me clarify things a bit...
I had two boxes previously running 7.2 with ext2
box-x (broken box in question) and box-lt (laptop)
after upgrading to 8.1, I decided to also upgrade to
ext3. After recreating mkinird, box-lt worked without
issue but box-x had this fsck problem. This is with
the stock 8.1 kernel 2.4.8-26.
I was able to resolve box-x problem by re-ordering
the"global" section at the top of lilo.conf and adding
in read-only into this section (it already was on
every individual kernel already... don't know why it
also needed to be there).
This worked fine until I upgraded box-x to 2.4.8-36.1.
I have not upgraded box-lt yet because it is running
win4lin and they do not have an upgraded kernel for
this yet. A new lilo.conf was automatically created
during upgrade (which also did not have the read-only
in the global section). I tried putting read-only on
the new lilo.conf, I tried using the old lilo-conf
only changing kernel versions, and I tried mkinitrd...
all failed.
This is the status so far.
