With the warning that your system is asking for the root password because it is finding *serious errors* in your filesystem, and if you enable fsck -y then it may result in deletion of large chunks of your filesystem to "repair" the damage. Instead you should be asking why you are getting these errors in the first place. Do you have soft updates enabled? Should you invest in a UPS to prevent the unclean shutdowns? Kris
