  Hallo !

  You can save that fsck if you have sysreq in your kernel:
  - shutdown to hold as you do normaly
  - type <Alt>-<SysReq>-i    : kill really all processes
  - <Alt>-<SysReq>-s         : sync disks
  - <Alt>-<SysReq>-u         : remount ro
  - <Alt>-<SysReq>-b         : kill machine

  Works most time.
