The probable source of errors are:
a) Inappropriate syntax for fsck or e2fsck
b) Corruption of your / or /etc files.
The best recourse would be to boot through a rescue
disk (stand alone), if you have one for your distro
or one of the floppy based mini-distros (tomsrtbt or
alfalinux). Once you have booted, do:
o fsck /dev/hdxN (where x is a,b etc, N is 1,2 etc).
Repeat for all your partitions in turn. Select all
defauilt answers in the repair process.
o boot normally ... should work ...
o if not, boot through rescue disk again, mount the
partition where you have your data, move them to
another partition/ floppy/ CDROM ...
