bt3 problem after reboot

[purehate]

Could it be me shutting down incorrectly??

I logout then do "poweroff" or "reboot" Both give the startup error

The error:
fsck 1.39
/dev/hda1 was not cleanly unmounted, check forced.

Then it reboots after the check

It's the only OS on my "test" PC booting straight through lilo

If you log out of kde first and then reboot is the error the same?

just try to run e2fsck after unmount it, and add the autorepair switch ...

more effective than fsck ...

I've noticed when I install a linux distro on a hard drive that has bad sectors, I run into this problem. Try a scan on your hard drive. There should be some free tools around to burn to a cd then boot off of it. Hell, an XP disc can do it. I would recommend a tool, but I work in a tech shop. Most of these tools were probably paid for

Are you using ext2 filesystem?

[s1lang]

Nope using ext3

I'm just trying to get BT3 running again now, as after installing Compiz I get a black screen ie: my monitor goes into power save mode due to no signal after I do startx.

Just playing around with xorg.conf to fix it

Does anyone have any clues what I've done wrong now??
Sorry for being uneducated in the Linux ways

Reet it's not my xorg.conf as I've edited, re-edited it and no joy. The I copied an old backup from the other day still no joy.
Last memorable thing I did was type cubez before I restarted

Sorry guys, but i have same problem.
I installed it on VMware, there is no voice and every time you start up it say that it wasn't turned off properly.

Can you guys document from start to finish how you are installing it so I can try to recreate the problem.

Sorry, I was unaware there was already an existing post. This problem has been plaguing me for a few days! I was actually gathering information and typing my above post during my lunch break two blocks from work. I usually don't post on the forums due to my inexperience and lack of knowledge concerning Linux. I apologize for not browsing the forums and checking for other topics pertaining to my problem. Moderators you may delete this post as I have added my information to the other post.

Thank you,

Do not double post. This is your one and only warning.

I think the problem is some where in rc.6 file ( /etc/rc.d/rc.6 )

the message i get every time i type halt or reboot is

Unmounting local file system,
unmount: /: device is busy


I took a picture to show you if I'm not explaining it too well

I have attached the picture (sorry its a little blurry)

I also receive this message just before the computer powers off.
