I have read many posts, and posted once myself on this thread (may be
before the thread even started) but my problem still persists, and I
want to consult to net once more...

I have installed bootutils-0.1, on top of my 99p10 kernel, I have an 
ext2 FS on my root (actually only) partition. I have installed
all the pieces in the bootutils package.

Now, what I expect is that when I "shut down", it (whoever "it" is)
should mark the fs "clean", and (if all was well) on the next (re)boot
the e2fsck should not run, and I won't get that "unchecked fs"
warning.

I tried "shutting down" by sync, umount, shutdown, and many
combinations of them. Lately I always manually do "sync; sleep 5;
umount -a; shutdown -h now" which may well be an overkill.
Unfortunately none of these worked. I mean on the next boot I stil get
the warning, and have to wait out for a long fs check to complete.

Let me add the following for gurus: during the shut down (or maybe
reboot I am not sure I get a line "e2fsck 0.2d 930330 for ext2 FS
0.3a".

Are my expectations unreasonable? Is my software of matching vintage?
What am I missing?

Any ideas/suggestions will be greatly appreciated...
