I had this happen when running the Slackware distribution. The system
hung in X and I had no way of bringing the system down gracefully. When I
powered up again, I got that message.
Since I didn't know too much, the best way I knew of to fix it was to
reinstall... But I hope someone else here can point out the REAL way to
fix it...
