To run fsck, a filesystem must be either not mounted (prob your case) or mounted readonly. I'm afraid running fsck manually won't succeed either here, but it will give you better error messages. You'll need to find out what exactly the problem is, and fix it. "couldn't find filesystem" seems strange. You didn't take the disk out?? Muck with parition tables? Have a fauly disk? After that, you may mount the rootfs read/write (with the command given on the screen) and continue to boot to runlevel 3 or 5, or, easier and perhaps safer, exit the root shell with ctrl-D, continuing with a full reboot. > Do I have to reinstall or is their an easier way???
