Chances are your filesystem has an error in it that's not caught by the
preliminary fsck, the system boots normally, the background fsck kicks
off, the kernel hits the corrupt block and panics, and repeats the
loop. Try booting into single-user and run fsck -p, then reboot again
and see if the problem's gone.
