Bug description:
  Binary package hint: util-linux

  while e2fsck has the optioon to add an e2fsck.conf with an option to
  ignore broken system clocks, fsck does not have the ability to
  override this.

  that behavior together with a mountall bug which does not give the
  user a maintenance shell when fsck exits but makes it go into an
  endless loop renders many ARM platforms we support unbootable (we have
  several development boards that either come with  an unloaded (imx51)
  or without battery at all (omap beagleboard)).

  the only workaround in this case is to edit both fstab files on the
  rootfs (/etc/fstab and /lib/init/fstab) and change the pass number for
  the root filesystem from 1 to 0
