then quoted the dmesg file.

Way after everything else is mounted (and Linux systems normally run
fsck on a filesystem before mounting it), it had:

So if the USB modules aren't even loaded when fsck runs, then it's going
to have a hard time fscking /dev/sda4.

Try changing the fsck line I quoted to
/dev/sda4    /mnt/pd ext2 noauto,defaults 0 0
