If the system needs to run an fsck and if the fsck fails I have always had it dump me into a recovery shell. It will ask for the root password in that case. Enter the root password and you will have a console in which to manually run the fsck.

Edit the /etc/default/rcS file and set: FSCKFIX=yes That will automatically run "fsck -y" at boot time. See the /etc/init.d/checkroot.sh script for the implementation details. This will avoid being stuck at boot time waiting for interaction with fsck on the console. I think that will solve your problem. I set this on all of my systems. Bob
