Skipping fsck at boot, when the system's on battery, would appear to be hard coded in /etc/init.d/fsck ... and the function it uses to check is completely independent of userspace tools related to PM. The only thing it checks is the /proc tree. You can make it ignore all of that and force a check by booting with forcefsck on your kernel command line or by creating the file /forcefsck (simply using touch should suffice). You say "Chaos ensues" ... in what way? Further errors, failure to boot, file system corruption, or...? The problem isn't likely rooted in the fact that it doesn't run an fsck when the system's booting on battery, but rather that you have some more pressing problem that should be addressed. -- Poison [BLX] Joshua M.
