That's what I was afraid of... thanks.

No, /dev/hda1 always mounts cleanly.
I don't know about IRQs, pio vs. DMA and such, so I don't know if the
following lines from the log indicate the source of the problem:
kernel: PIIX4: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 39
kernel: PIIX4: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
kernel: ide0: BM-DMA at 0xfcf0-0xfcf7, BIOS settings: hda:pio, hdb:DMA
kernel: ide1: BM-DMA at 0xfcf8-0xfcff, BIOS settings: hdc:pio, hdd:pio
kernel: hda: FUJITSU MPC3032AT, ATA DISK drive
kernel: hdb: SAMSUNG SV4084D, ATA DISK drive
kernel: ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14
kernel: hda: FUJITSU MPC3032AT, 3093MB w/0kB Cache, CHS=838/120/63
kernel: hdb: SAMSUNG SV4084D, 38928MB w/444kB Cache, CHS=4962/255/63
The details of the second disk: 40 Gb partitioned into 20 + 10 + 10
(and an extra 128Mb swap). fsck appears to find errors on the three
partitions more or less at random.
