Change to the single user mode, remount the root file system read only,
and run e2fsck -fpc, and it should work. It will take a while. You can
also go to the single user mode when booting using the linux
init=/bin/bash option This will get you a shell prompt with the root
file system mounted read-only, and the other file systems not mounted.
