No ideas really, but I get the same thing -- but only sometimes. Is this
SMP? Stock RH kernel? I use 'halt' and not 'reboot'. This gives me a
second shot. If not I have to go thru fsck thing when it comes back
up. I've had this with various kernels (SMP) FWIW.

Probably can do this without rebooting. Be sure to use 'cp -a'.
Remember that once mounted, you will not be able to access the
original /usr (in case you want to delete what's there for space
reasons).
