I've tried this on 7.2 on two different systems:

- - Dell Inspiron 7500.  Hard shutdown always induces fsck.  A message 
is displayed telling me to press any key to initiate a disk check (in 
so many words), but regardless of my action or lack thereof, fsck will 
run.

- - KT7 RAID setup.  Never fscks, no matter how many times I kill the 
power.  

Major filesystems are fsck priority 1 in /etc/fstab on both systems.  
ext3 all around.  I've yet to figure out what the difference is.
