It seems like every other reboot of my system, I get the following:

/dev/hda1 was not cleanly unmounted, check forced.
Deleted inode 327743 has zero dtime. FIXED

And it tells me to run the following command:

mount -n -o remount,rw /

So I do, and reboot, and it boots up fine. It seems to happen almost every other boot/reboot. Any idea what this is, and better yet, any way to fix it?

I did a HD install (not frugal) on a Dell Dimension 450MHz.

Thank in advance!

Basically the system had shutdown/rebooted without unmounting the hard drive - do you use the shutdown options in DSL?

Could also be a hardware/formatting/geometry problem.

I just right-click on the desktop, and choose "Reboot". So, whatever the default shutdown options are is what I use. Can you point me where to look for those?

I'm fairly confident the hardware is ok, but heck with a machine that old you never know.

Yea, those are the options.

If you want to really have time and want to try it, you might want to (i.e. with cfdisk)0 delete all the partitions off your hard drive, recreate them, format to ext2, and then reinstall DSL.  It'll might be a pain, though, just to see if this your condition is permanent or not.

What version of DSL?
When you shutdown/reboot are there any messages on the screen saying something like:

can't umount ? trying ? instead

Instead of using the shutdown from the menu exit to the prompt and type

sudo shutdown -r now

and follow what is happening, expecially look for the errors above or any other errors reported.
