Kernel boot problems or is my hard drive failing ?



If I power down my laptop via the usual KStart->Shutdown means, it can
take up to 4 restart attempts before it fully boots.

It has no problem launching grub and the kernel selection screen. That
it does reliably every time. After that, there are issues.

Twice I will get a back screen with a flashing cursor. Then I will get
an ehci -19 error. Then it will boot properly.

My fscks are fine. I had a block error once, about two weeks ago, but
that was with an older F12 kernel after completely crashing during a
resume from suspend to RAM.

Is anyone else experiencing a problem booting ? Does this sound like a
kernel problem or is my hard drive failing ?

Thanks
