Robert, are you using Reiserfs? I have a similar situation on one of my
machines that began after I did an online upgrade via yast. Watching the
stuff scroll by, it looks as if it is doing a complete fsck of the reiser
partitions. I have no idea why it started that but sure will be watching
this thread to see if someone has an answer. I have also noticed that if
I do the Yast checkout of the system it finds -usually- a reiserfs
partition that has been corrupted.
Since it appears you are doing some experimental installs, why dont you try
an install using ext3 or the JFS format and see if you have the same
problem. I've had a couple of machines which kept getting corrupted
reiserfs partitons until I changed to JFS and after a few weeks, no
problems.
Just a suggestion. Best of luck,
Richard
