And also in /usr/src/2.4.18-14 there is the configs directory with all the possible config files, depending on processor types and numbers (smp vs uniproc), debug and memory amount available. With them you can recreate the kernel suitable for what you have and want.

As Ralf wrote, there are two other possibilities: Every ext2/ext3 filesystem is per default checked on every 20th mount or if more than 6 months have passed since the last check. This happens whether the filesystem was cleanly unmounted or not. So it looks like that this is what happened to you. >>What distribution are you running? >> > RedHat 8.0.
