What it means in SuSe 7.2 and Mandrake is that the box was shut down before the program had finished shutting down. It may be that 7.3 has a bug in it that stops program shut down before it has finished and the first thing it does at reboot is to check the file sysytem to insure that none of the files have been damaged. The same thing happens sometimes on my Mandrake/SuSe dual boot. The only way I have of preventing it is when the program shuts down is to tell it to reboot and power down duing the bio bootup.
