I'm pretty sure it's a bug for the linux-image package, since no other distributions are reporting anything even vaguely like this. And there appears to be more than one Ubuntu user seeing it. (I use Ubuntu, but I use my own kernel). It might be useful if people who are reporting this problem co

The other problem with this one is it, for most users, only happens after every 20th reboot, which can be a cycle of more than a month, easily. I'm not sure what my current remount count is on my laptop. I'll post back with my current kernel version when I have my laptop back up. -- fsck freezes
