/sbin/fsck -fy

[ravagilli]

Hello all,

 

When i start my computer up i have to boot into -S mode and type /sbin/fsck -fy , let it do its thing repeat if required, then reboot -q -n , for quick reboot without flushing disks. Then i can leave my system to boot normally and 9/10 it will boot up.

 

Here's the problem, if i dont do this when it gets past the grey startup screen, i get some funny horizontal lines on the screen and the system hangs. It does this on both iAtkos 2.0i 10.5.2 (toh kernel), and Leo4All v.3 (vanilla kernel). Any help would be much appreciated because it's a pain in the arse!

 

I have a Fujitsu Siemens V5505 laptop with the following specs;

 

Intel Core 2 Duo T7300 2.00ghz 4MB Cache

4 GB 667mhz DDR2 samsung RAM

Intel 965 chipsetIntel ICH8-M SATA Controller

Intel GMA X3100 Graphics (Vendor: Intel (0x8086) Device ID: 0x2a02 Revision ID: 0x0003)

Intel High Definition Audio (Device ID: 0x1734110E) Connextant chip it seems from searching on forums!

Broadcom WiFi - third party airport card (works)

Realtek 811B-GR NIC 10/100/1000 mbps

Western Digital 250gb HDD

Hope someone can help!!
