Thanks for the info, Robert. This implied that there might be
a software issue. I did get some cryptic message about a problem
with usb 1-2 right at boot up but the boot always went well.
Anyway, I downloaded the latest custom installer, installed the
basic system on a spare 2 GB SD card and there was no problem
with an unclean root file system! This was progress! This suggested
that a dist-upgrade, to get the 2.6.24 kernel, might solve my problem:)
Therefore, I did an aptitude dist-upgrade on my existing SD card and
something in the newer kernel eliminated the message about the
usb 1-2 problem and now I also get the message: "Filesystem clean"
when I boot.
My installer was from late February or early March and the kernel was still
at 2.6.22... I had done safe-upgrades but not in the last
week or so. Great to have this annoyance solved this easily.
