I get the following error each time claiming that my file system is corrupt. I have run reboot with a force fsck of the filesystem on reboot and got the same error. I believe the problem is not the filesystem since I am running an ext3 filesystem with a stable release kernel (2.4.22-gentoo-r5). !!! ERROR: There appears to be FILE SYSTEM CORRUPTION. A file that is listed !!! as existing is not capable of being stat'd. If you are using an !!! experimental kernel, please boot into a stable one, force an fsck, !!! and ensure your filesystem is in a sane state. 'shutdown -Fr now' !!!
