ISTR that fsck it a little silly with memory allocation on large file systems, but that it should work if you have enough swap. Don't assume that this is the first large allocation, so the 128 MB of RAM may not be enough. Does the file system fsck correctly after you're up and running? If so, you might like to check your swap usage during the fsck. One way or the other it would be interesting to know how much swap you have allocated.
