Bug Description
Binary package hint: e2fsprogs
I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10 (desktop) on my eeepc 1005ha
Whenever it runs a scheduled fsck scan on boot, fsck crashes (or causes something else to crash?), preventing the system from booting up. Ctrl+alt+del will restart the computer, at which point it boots normally. This has happened both times fsck was run at startup.
Output displayed to the screen:
fsck from util-linux-ng 2.16
/dev/sda1: clean, 192114/3506176 files, 1269596/14000639 blocks

I got the same (or at least similar) problem (error message) after my last upgrade (kernel + sreadahead + new package ureadahead). However, on my computer (Dell laptop D630, intel graphic) this error occurs at every boot. I get a black screen so that I cannot log in any more -- also the text/console login does not work and even the "failsafe" mode fails. If I add the kernel option "i915.modeset=0" in GRUB to the "failsafe" mode, I still cannot log in after boot but I can see the start-up messages, where the last line is "init: ureadahead-other main process (762) terminated with status 4". Hence, I am really locked out from my own computer :-( Please help. Thanks, Arne.
