might try doing an fsck.ext2 -f to force it to check even thought it is
marked clean. This bit me once.

Check that fsck.ext2 and any file it references exist, and are on
the root partition.
On my slackware system, /sbin/fsck.ext2 looks like this:
#!/bin/sh
exec /sbin/e2fsck -C 0 $*
If yours is the same, check that /bin/sh and /sbin/e2fsck exist
on the root partition.
