If it runs the check on a certain filesystem *every* time it boots, you probably want to run fsck manually (see the man pages for usage) on the offending partition. If it's just the fact that it forces a check of all filesystems more often than you like, I know the maximun time between checks can be increased, although I can't remember what file you need to edit at the moment.
