Kind of a complex of problems I'm having with BL2, but here's a rundown.
First, I get an unclean unmount every time I shutdown or reboot the system
(doesn't matter whether I ctrl-alt-del, type "reboot" or "shutdown -
now").  On the next reboot, the checkdisk utility runs every time -
"/dev/hdXX was not cleanly unmounted - check forced".  Anyone else having
this problem?  I thought maybe it was the HD I was using, but now that
I've installed BL2 to a larger partition on a second drive, I'm getting
the same error.  Each time, fsck must run, since the system detects that
the drive/partition was not cleanly unmounted.  Any pointers on why this
is happening and what I might do to resolve it would be appreciated.

This leads to problem 2, which is related.  fsck seems to run fine on the
first drive, with its 460MB BL2 partition (500MB drive).  However, it will
not finish its check on hdb (4.3GB drive).  It gets into the 70th
percentile of the check and then simply hangs.  I can't understand why this
happens.  It doesn't depend on the size of the partition: I have the 1GB,
1.5GB and 400MB partitions there.  fsck hangs in the 70th percentile on all
of them.  Any ideas from anyone on why this happens?  Anyone else having
these sorts of problems?

When this happens, I have no choice but to cold reboot the system.
Needless to say, the partition becomes unbootable thereafter, since fsck
wants to run every time I boot to the partition in question, and fsck can
never complete its integrity check.  The only way around this is to boot
to BL on hda, and from there run e2fsck on the offending partition.  This
utility will analyse and repair the disk, and apparently flags the partition
somehow so tht BL2 will, on next boot, see it as cleanly unmounted and will
finally boot it.

Any suggestions on how to resolve this?  Can I, for example, make e2fsck
run for the disk integrity check on bootup instead of fsck?  Other related
insights?

Thanks, James

Steven:

If I can get my second, larger BL2 partition booting reliably, I can go
ahead and install Mozilla there and try compiling Skipstone.  Since I know
you have had Mozilla running on BL2, I'd just like a heads up on what kind
of dependency problems I can expect when I go to install Mozilla.  Do you
recally what else you had to install to get Mozilla to run?

Thanks, James

I just posted to the list twice and haven't gotten any more of these C
Zone auto-replies.  Seems like you've gotten the problem solved.

I'm sorry. I thought Lycos fixed their autoresponder. I use this as my 
business address and I knew a couple people said something about it 
months ago but I hadn't heard them say it acted up since. I turned it 
off. If you still get it tell me and I will complain to Lycos. So you must've 
been the ones that signed me up for the pornographic newsletter 3,000 
times then.
