/dev/hda1 was not cleanly unmounted, check forced
I had this problem after installing BT3. Every time I booted into BT3, I was faced with a forced check and then a second reboot. So off I went to http://forums.remote-exploit.org and came across THIS POST about the issue.
This is how I fixed the problem:
Become root:
su + password
Edit rc.6 with nano:
nano /etc/rc.d/rc.6
Scroll down to where it says:
# Kill all processes.
# INIT is supposed to handle this entirely now, but this didn’t always
# work correctly without this second pass at killing off the processes.
# Since INIT already notified the user that processes were being killed,
# we’ll avoid echoing this info this time around.
#TM: we need fuse-based filesystem to be alive (if mounted from #initrd).
#if [ ! “$1” = “fast” ]; then # shutdown did not already kill all processes
# /sbin/killall5 -15
# /bin/sleep 5
# /sbin/killall5 -9
#fi
And uncomment the lines from if to fi (delete the #’s)
It should now look like this:
# Kill all processes.
# INIT is supposed to handle this entirely now, but this didn’t always
# work correctly without this second pass at killing off the processes.
# Since INIT already notified the user that processes were being killed,
# we’ll avoid echoing this info this time around.
#TM: we need fuse-based filesystem to be alive (if mounted from initrd).
if [ ! “$1” = “fast” ]; then # shutdown did not already kill all processes
/sbin/killall5 -15
/bin/sleep 5
/sbin/killall5 -9
fi
Reboot, no more forced fsck, cake!
