You might try adding the "sync" option to the /etc/fstab entry for / :

   /dev/hda2       /      ext2   defaults,sync 1 1

This should cause all writes to done immediately (except when RT
stuff is going on, presumably).

e2fsck supports a "-p" option for this, but I still suggest using
the sync option.  On a RedHat system, /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit contains
the fsck commands, so you might hack it in there.
