OK, I'm getting confused about what this is supposed to show: hda5 isn't
actually listed in the files you attached.  hdb6 is, but the "df" all
looks fine.

No, because the problem is totally independent of what kernel you're
running at the time --- it depends only on the state of the disk, and
whether that was corrupted by some previous boot and has not yet been
fscked.  If you've got the block counts off, just rebooting into a
different non-buggy kernel won't help at all.
