[ltp] Reboot filesystem corruption

[Jeffrey L. Taylor]

If I reboot or shutdown and boot, the filesystem is corrupted and boot
stalls midway thru starting up services.  Suspsend to swap and resume
does not have this problem.  Booting the rescue disk and running fsck
on both root and home partition (ext3 and ReiserFS, respectively)
fixes the problem.  It is fairly consistent when it stalls if I try
booting again.  But when changes after FS repair.  fscking the root
partion alone is not sufficient.  fscking both partitions works.

Has anyone seen anything like this and have a solution?
