Now, the only thing that comes out is - Waiting for device /dev/hda2 to appear: OK fsck 1.39 (29-May-2006) [/bin/fsck/ext3 (1) -- /] fsck.ext3 -a -CO /dev/hda2 / (/dev/hda2) clean, 34... files, 89... blocks fsck succeeded. Mounting root device read write Mounting root /dev/hda2 So if that date problem is cleared up, why do I still get an fsck every time I boot?
