Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: initscripts

When starting, checkfs checks the filesystem and fails while trying to
check something in /dev/.tmp-XXX . The strange thing is that sometimes,
it starts correctly, sometimes not. When it fails, I have a shell access
which $PATH is not correct (/bin:/sbin), so it complains about not
finding less, apt-get & stuff. If I run /etc/init.d/checkfs start again,
it does not complain. I simply hit ^D and the system starts correctly.

Here's the log:

fsck.ext3: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/.tmp-254-2
/dev/.tmp-254-2: 
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem.  If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
    e2fsck -b 8193 <device>

fsck died with exit status 8
