I removed the partition from /dev/fstab. It is a partition on /dev/sda1, a SATA drive, with about 20% fragmentation. I moved everything off the drive, and will reformat, making sure it is in ext3 or other journaling format. Something was triggering a check every boot. (message saying the partition was not properly mounted---I don't have access to the exact message now). I wonder whether this kind of hardware issue might trigger the Machine Check Exception.
