On boot: filesystem with errors

[awolff01]

Hi Folks,

My system was working fine..but now all of sudden whenever I reboot I get the following errors:

Checking filesystems
fsck 1.34
/dev/hda2 contains a filesystem with errors, check forced
inode 1234455 has illegal blocks
/dev/hda2: unexpected inconsistency
fsck.ext2 /dev/hda2 failed (0X4) run fsck manually.



What can I do about this? I tried running fsck but for some unknown reason my keyboard stopped working when fsck was running and I could not confirm to "clear the inode".

Any help is appreciated.

Alex-

what distro you are using and version?, most linux will ask you to type the root password or press ctl+d to reboot, you should type the password of root then manual run the fsck utils.

e.g. ( your root )

shell#fsck /dev/hda1 then press enter

note: /dev/hda1 <-- hda is an IDE sda if SCSI

btw: fsck all your partitions

/dev/had1
/dev/hda2
/dev/hda5
/dev/hda6

etc
