Hi, are you using the "quiet" parameter in GRUBs "kernel" line? This is what caused fsck to be silent in my case. The problem is that I don't wan't the extremely verbose kerneloutputs when not using "quiet". Besides, it also slows down booting since writing so much text into framebuffer isn't fast at all. So if there was a way to have both, the "quiet" parameter and a fsck progressbar that would be very neat. Markus
