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.

Thank you,

Alan Davis
