Long standing? I didn't find this error on Google even one single
time. I've checked that a few times before I wrote my first mail in
this thread, IIRC ...

At least I've noticed this the first times. I assume I would have seen
the error message much earlier if it actually were there. Simply
because I often have at least a glance at the fast running boot
messages when starting the system ... And seeing a fsck being skipped
would always have meant a red alert for me. I'd bet ... :)
BTW: After your message I checked my TiBookIV: Exactly the same kernel
(built on the alubook, IIRC) on it does not show the error messages about
skipping fsck because on battery power ... I've
just testet it:
The tibook is on AC, battery removed, and this is what it tells me:
------------------------------------------------------
$ cat /proc/pmu/info
PMU driver version : 2
PMU firmware version : 0c
AC Power : 0
Battery count : 1
$ cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor : 0
cpu : 7455, altivec supported
clock : 867.000000MHz
revision : 0.2 (pvr 8001 0302)
bogomips : 86.18
timebase : 33331323
platform : PowerMac
machine : PowerBook3,5
motherboard : PowerBook3,5 MacRISC2 MacRISC Power Macintosh
detected as : 80 (PowerBook Titanium IV)
pmac flags : 0000001b
L2 cache : 256K unified
pmac-generation : NewWorld
$ uname -a
Linux debby 2.6.18-rc4-060811-dirty #1 Fri Aug 11 00:16:22 CEST 2006 ppc GNU/Linux
grep -irs "battery power" /var/log/boot*
yields absolutely nothing on the tibook ...
---------------------------------------------------------
And here's the alubook:
$ uname -a
Linux debby1-6 2.6.18-rc4-060811-dirty #1 Fri Aug 11 00:16:22 CEST 2006 ppc GNU/Linux
But the debian packages versions on both machines differ.
Does someone know about a kernel bug report about this? Actually I'd
think that no, provided Google is right and I didn't miss a search
pattern .. :)
BTW: Is there a way to force the fsck being done no matter whether the
machine is on battery or not? Without having to rewrite checkfs.sh and
checkroot.sh?
HTH
