That was a pretty good help but apparently not all the story.
When I checked bios, the clock was exactly 1 hr fast (didn't pick up
the end of daylight saving time I guess).
Reset the clock and tested with 2 more reboots, each time mounting
/boot and fiddling around with files.
Each time the same failure occurs. I check bios time again. Its
right.
Here is the (edited) output form fsck
Superblock last mount time (Wed Nov 4 18:05:13 2009,
now = Wed Nov 4 12:11:49 2009) is in the future.
Fix<y>? yes

so still somehow, those last mount dates are way wrong.
I hope I'm checking the right thing in bios. Its under cmos and shows
the time ticking away. You can adjust all columns. with +/-.
