Maybe the (upgraded) amount of RAM doesn't fir to the existing partition size (no more). Then it would overwrite some Megs. No wonder fsck is slightly overcharged. Apparently there's a timeout set up possibly in the BIOS, what to do when power is very low. Hibernation is the best solution, imho. You could turn it off in the BIOS, and have it although working (by apm / acpi events), since swasup is probably the better choice anyway.
