I'm also running up-to-date Sid. Here are my fstab entries of interest:
/dev/disk/by-label/PEN /media/pen vfat noauto,users 0 0
/dev/disk/by-label/usb-80 /media/usb-80 ext3 noauto,users 0 0
/dev/disk/by-label/usb-160 /media/usb-160 ext3 noauto,users 0 0
I rarely have the pen drive or usb HD's plugged in at boot. No problems
with this on five machines. The error message you report sounds a lot
like what is issued when fsck fails.

I tried (I uploaded the new config file:
http://www-etud.iro.umontreal.ca/~duranlef/linux-config/), same thing.
Now I am trying to do as Bert Schulze suggested me, but I am
struggling with my packages because my dependencies are broken down
because I can't upgrade to the new libc6 package (which requires 2.6).
One thing though, I tried to boot my system with a Debian Live CD and
I had no problems. I could even mount the filesystems from the hard
drive. So there must be something to be done (aside from reinstalling
from scratch, which I am trying to avoid).

I'm curious what extension gives you that. It sure isn't available in my
Iceweasel. (I use Unplug to get video urls, myself.)

As the working user and as root run env and compare so you know exactly
what differences you're looking for.
Then check both the user's and root's .bash*, but also check the
/etc/bash.bashrc and /etc/provfile in case there's any logic in those
that looks at the user (as it does to set the prompt). The system's
default locale is set under /etc/default.

I haven't done much, but when I did I used Tex4ht. If it matters, I'm
using texlive.

These days I am using texmacs for anything that I previously used to do with
latex. The quality of the output is also on par with latex + it provides a
nice WYSIWYG kind of environment. You can convert the final .tm file into
any of .pdf, .ps, .html, .tex etc., If you want to try it out, I suggest
you start out with version 1.0.6.10 (the one in unstable) than with version
1.0.6.

After trying every converter I could find, I discovered HeVeA. HeVeA
takes LaTeX files and produces beautiful HTML, with much less hassle
than any of the other solutions which I found. HeVeA handles LaTeX
documents with complex formatting, including footnotes; it appears to
be in a category by itself. HeVeA comes with an excellent manual.

My Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe AM2 MB with Athlon64 3800+ CPU has 6 SATA-II
ports with the nVidia chipset and one internal and one external eSATA
with an addition chip (JMicron?) on the MB as well. Here's some lines
from my dmesg:
ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0x9F0 ctl 0xBF2 bmdma 0xE000 irq 58
ata1: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300)
ata3: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0x9E0 ctl 0xBE2 bmdma 0xCC00 irq 66
ata3: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300)
ahci 0000:06:00.0: AHCI 0001.0000 32 slots 2 ports 3 Gbps 0x3 impl SATA mode
ata7: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xFFFFC20000040100 ctl 0x0 bmdma 0x0 irq 74
ata8: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xFFFFC20000040180 ctl 0x0 bmdma 0x0 irq 74
I don't have hdparm installed and I don't have any real way of testing
the throughput easily right now. Len Sorensen on debian-amd64 yesterday
went through the math on SATA speed, PCI-e speed, CPU bus speed, etc.
Check the archives and review that.
The upshot was that a hardware raid card makes sense if you're going to
do raid5 and you get a card good enought that it can beat the CPU at the
game. Likely, this means a PCI-e x8 card (3Com was mentioned) that you
can attach to the spare x16 slot (intended for the second video card in
an SLI setup).
Other than this case, it probably doesn't warrant a raid card; if you
really need that kind of I/O throughput you're probably looking at
server hardware that uses SAS instead of SATA. Although, according to
wikipedia, a SAS enclosure can use SATA drives in some kind of
compatibility mode.
In any event, if you're choosing between PATA and SATA, go with SATA
unless:
1. performance isn't an issue
2. you can get a huge deal on a good PATA drive.

The way I was told to do it, and which seems to work ok:
1. Shrink the fs to significantly smaller than the final desired size
2. Shrink the LV to the desired size
3. Grow the fs to fill the LV
I guess that could be a problem if the desired size is very close to the
amount of data already in the filesystem, but other than that it seems
to work.

I've never used Fedora. There's nothing interactive about it. When you
init=/bin/sh, you get sh running instead of init. The only drive
mounted is the / and its ro. So you cd to /etc/rcS.d, do an ls and
write down all the file names so you can tick them off as you run them.
#less README
read it..
Then, one at a time, type e.g.:
#./S01glibc.sh start
#./S02hostname.sh start
You're sort-of single-stepping the init process to track down a problem.
Once you have, try to fix it and then shutdown. Since init normally
does this, I wouldn't want to try to bring the system all the way up in
this manner.

You mean that the system has totally hung and you can't ssh into it (its
not just the keyboard and display that's frozen)?
Check out the Remote-Serial-Console-HOWTO in the standard doc-linux-html
package. That plus the Serial-HOWTO and the Text-Terminal-HOWTO should
get you up and running. If you're wanting to monitor it at a distance,
you may want the modem howto. In any event, you'll need the correct
cable. The howto's cover this.
You need to ensure that kernel messages are going to the console. Check
/etc/sysctl.conf that you don't have the kernel.printk parameter set.
Then you get the actual serial setup as per the HOWTOS. While you're at
it, set up a getty in case you can get into the system that way.
On the other end, you can use minicom to connect. However, if you just
want long-term logging of the console messages, don't use a getty on the
target box and use ttylog, perhaps teeing it to a file and the your
screen.
Good luck,
Doug.

One thing that kinda stands out to me in the 2.6 config are:
CONFIG_IDE_GENERIC=m
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_VIA82CXXX=m
I'd change those to be compiled in rather than modules.

Success!!! After struggling with manual packages installation, I could run
those commands and finally successfully reboot the computer in 2.6.18!
One thing though, I had several messages about an '-F' invalid option when
I ran 'mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18 2.6.18', but everything seems
okay this far.

In Iceweasel try Tools-> Page Info-> Media. It's definitely there in
Firefox 2.0, and Iceweasel is Firefox 2.0.

Yes. There were set as modules for some experiments regarding
CRC errors (see http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2007/08/msg00252.html
and the rest of the thread).

What's a *satellite* modem?
Are you referring to POTS modem, cable modem or ADSL modem?
Broadband *modems* do not have IP addresses. (But they do have MAC
addresses.) Only if it is a combo modem-router will it have an IP
address.

A modem that connects to the Ipstar satellite for the Internet connection,
through a satellite dish on my roof. I suppose the don't have these sort of
things other than in the bush of Australia.
But thanks anyway.

Docbook also seems to have been designed by masochists.... it's so
horribly verbose that I can't imagine how people put up with maintaining
documents written using it. It's as if the creators got so carried away
adding features that they completely forgot about basic usability.
Latex, for all it's (many) faults, does at least try to cater to the author.
