I have a strange problem with a Gentoo install on a Sony Vaio PCG-GRX650.

Every other time I boot, the disk check on my ReiserFS-formatted partition
fails. In other words, I boot, it gets to 'replaying journal', and hangs.
If I reboot, it then goes through the same sequence, and then works.

When I then shutdown, and reboot, it hangs, requiring me to reboot again.

Any ideas?

You could try running reiserfsck on that partition, it'll need to be
unmounted so you could boot the gentoo live cd and do it from there if
need be. -Dan

Dan,

I recently resized the partition, after shrinking my Win2K partition, and
every since I resized the ReiserFS partition (considerably) larger, it
doesn't do it anymore.

Thanks Again.

I used to unplug my Windows PC between uses, and it did the same
thing. Leaving it plugged in between uses fixed that problem; this
newsgroup is teaching me how I can fix the rest by ditching Windows...
