Okay, trying to give more details, but unfortunately, there's no log file from the failed boot attemps since the root partition is mounted readonly, and I don't know what to look for. I'm giving it a try, tell me if there's anything specific I should look for.
hwclock --localtime yields the correct time regarding my timezone, this means my system clock is set to localtime, right? I get the following behaviour, 100% reproducable: 1.) I boot the system. In the log messages I see in this order (with lots of other stuff in between): * "EXT3-fs: INFO: recovery required on readonly filesystem [...] sda5 [...] recovery complete" sda5 is my root partition, but why is a recovery required? Has there already been a problem during the last shutdown without me noticing? * "EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem" (presumably sd5) * "udev starting" * fsck fails on sda5 with the "last write time in the future" message 2.) I get the "give root password for maintanance" login message, log in and run "fsck /dev/sda5; reboot" 3.) On reboot, the messages are (I can provide the logfile if needed): * "EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem" * "udev starting" * "EXT3 FS on sda5" * "EXT3 FS on sda7" (this is my home partition) * "EXT3-fs: mounted filesytem" 4.) The system boots fine, I work, and shutdown the system without problems. 5.) Next time, I'm at 1.) again Cheers, Rebecca ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Forschungszentrum Juelich GmbH 52425 Juelich Sitz der Gesellschaft: Juelich Eingetragen im Handelsregister des Amtsgerichts Dueren Nr.
