As long as you're using Debian (potato?) and have the e2fsprogs package
installed (it's a required package, and should never be removed unless you
know VERY well what you're doing), and have not screwed up with /etc/init.d
and /etc/rc*.d, it should do the fsck on bootup.

Try "apt-get remove e2fsprogs && apt-get install e2fsprogs" if you want to
make sure the package is in there, and correctly installed. But do be
careful, if this screws up, you will lose all the userland suport for ext2.
