Is /dev/hda itself an ext2 filesystem? Most systems use the hda1, hda2 etc
partitions, and you'll need to use the partition name rather than the
disc name as what you give to fsck. If you can't find out which partition
you need to fsck from `mount` or `cat /etc/fstab`, partition names will
increase from hda1 if you have a disc with a DOS partition table, and
they'll start at hda3 if your disc has the extra linux partition table
stuck after a filecore partition.
