I'm sorry I didn't respond to your first email, but I've had a busy
week, and really didn't have any ideas how to help.

I'm confused.  I'm not sure what you mean by the wrong journal.  Unless
you use an external journal, there is only one journal per file system.

Going back and reading your first email again.  You said it wouldn't get
past grub.  Is it possible that /boot was modified right before your
power problem?  If very recent changes in /boot or /boot/grub weren't
committed to disk, grub may have been unable to read the config and/or
kernel until after fsck had run against /.  I'm surprised running fsck
from the rescue disk didn't help.

I may never figure out what happened, but I'm glad you were able to
recover it.

I don't understand what you mean by the wrong journal.  What exactly did
you do to fix it?
