I have checked my rootfs, the palimpsest disk utility and system monitor 
confirmed it is ext4 (version 1). I am afraid that I forgot to mention that I'm 
dual booting, sorry. 
Just to clarify, when I try to run fsck, both ways there is no delay, 
indicating that fsck is actually running. (In recovery mode when I push enter 
on the fsck option, the message "mount: / ..." briefly appears and it 
immediately returns to the first option "resume normal......" and using the 
"sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo reboot" it just reboots as it would when i 
restart my pc).
I'm very new at this and so am not too sure what other information you might 
need. I am happy to do a reinstall using ext3 to see what happens. Also under 
Jaunty both methods worked perfectly.
I have looked at the other bug that you mentioned and I'm afraid the 
terminology is beyond my level, am I correct in saying that with this bug fsck 
is being run? 
Just in case I'm wrong this is my /etc/fstab: 

# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc                /proc                  proc    defaults             0       
     0

Thank you.
