moving /home , no joy

[Michael Hennebry]

Alas, no joy.
FC8 keeps telling me bad magic number
in superblock and puts me in repair mode.
Knoppix likes the partition just fine.
It's fsck declares it clean.
FC8's fsck declares it has a bad magic number.
FC8 used to like it, too.
I copied /home/* to it under FC8.
Knoppix can read the result, as could FC8.

What is going on?
What can I do about it?

Here are the partition tables:
root at Knoppix:/media# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/hda: 40.0 GB, 40020664320 bytes
16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 77545 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 = 516096 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   *           1       28449    14337981    c  W95 FAT32 (LBA)
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/hda2           28449       28643       97776   83  Linux
Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/hda3           28643       45307     8398656   83  Linux
Partition 3 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/hda4           45307       77545    16248235+   5  Extended
/dev/hda5           45307       49182     1952968+  82  Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/hda6           49182       62358     6640672+  83  Linux
/dev/hda7           62358       77545     7654500   83  Linux

Disk /dev/sda: 400.0 GB, 400088457216 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 48641 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1               1        4864    39070048+  83  Linux
root at Knoppix:/media#


Something I'd forgotten before repartitioning /dev/sda
is that I had a swap partition on it.
FC8 now complains that it can't find the resume partition or something.
The partitition that it complains about, the now absent swap partition,
hasn't been listed in fstab for several reboots.

Again:
What is going on?
What can I do about it?
