I *almost* feel sorry for you, after several people here have tried to help, even WITHOUT you giving an actual direct error message that you're receiving beyond the *expected* behavior of the fsck being skipped on boot, and even despite your being belligerent toward several of the most helpful people I've seen on the list overall. What I do fail to understand, though, is why a person would post, asking for help, disregard every bit of help given, and *both* act as though they're being forced to listen to help they didn't ask for *and* as though they're not getting any help at all. If someone gives you an answer that is wrong for the situation as you see it, it typically means one of two things... 1) you didn't give all the details needed for them to understand what you're seeing and to know WHY the answer they're giving isn't correct, which 2) you're overlooking or ignoring something that they're trying to point out in their answer and, despite what you may want to hear, they are in fact correct. Now, a-typically, it's possible you know what's wrong, what's causing it, and the solution, so you can instantly know that answers you're receiving are wrong... but in my experience, in those cases, people don't waste other people's time asking for help. -- Poison [BLX] Joshua M.
