dropped to shell on older installations - fsck too old

I usually mount drives from one installation for usage in another 
installation.
I noticed that if a drive that was created while setting up a partition 
in FC3T2, then you boot into a pre-existing or newly created version of 
an earlier installation, you will be dropped to a maintenance shell.

The error seems to point to a volume that is alright, but could not be 
verified, because of too new of an installation.

Just a repeatable failure - newly installed FC3T1 and preexisting FC2 
release were effected.

No data loss, but hard to catch onto why you are being dropped to a 
maintenance shell.
