Okay so I'm in single user mode, I do a fsck /dev/hdc0 and its says that it can't find a super block. so then I try /hdc1 and it says the same thing so I go into dev and there are like hdb11 - hdt7 like a billion entries. is that right? I didn't think there was supposed to be so many hd* entries.

I don't have anything else right now, if it does it again I will though. We had a power outage here last week, could that have affected my file system enough to cause this? is there some kind of scandisk utility to fix stuff besides the integrity check on boot?

I had the same problem awhile ago with a RH 9 box. The cron job that updates the locate db would crash the machine. I had to run fsck about 3 times to get the filesystem in proper working order. I thought the HD was dying and ordered new ones... Now I have new hardrives sitting on my desk.;) Anyway I'd guess it is that as well. So reboot into single user mode, run fsck on all partitions. Reboot.
