"File system check forced: 31352 Tuomo> days since last check" or so. As Andy say, reset the counts using tune2fs, then make sure they are actually reset. I've been using ext3 for a long time and even with crashes, it's been good about coming up and replaying the journal nicely. Again, we can't tell much without boot logs. >> What CPU are you using?

I use a Sil 3112 as well for some of my disks (I've got six, two each of SCSI, PATA and SATA) and it all works well. So does an ancient but upto date Debian Unstable install running 2.6.24-rc6, so it's not impossible to install new kernels on old systems. Get rid of initrd and you should be all set.

So reboot it before you goto bed tonight and tell us what it says in the morning. Esp in terms of the filesystems and their counts. Hmm... but thinking about it, you're running 2.4.x something, and there were bugs back then with ext3, so you just might be hitting some of those bugs. Can you goto the latest 2.4.x release?
