Found a solution for this, posted here : http://superuser.com/a/427005
* Boot from a live Ubuntu CD
* Remove the first inode
sudo debugfs -w /dev/sda1
debugfs 1.41.11 (14-Mar-2010)
debugfs: clri <8>
debugfs: quit
* Restart into Live CD again and do
sudo fsck -yv /dev/sda1
It will work this time.
This is not a problem which anyone else (using Fedora, Debian, etc) has
complained about.Nor have I ever seen the problem on Lucid on my
Goobuntu laptop running Lucid or Precise.
What I would suggest is that you download the e2fsprogs sources, and
then after you build it, build lib/ext2fs/tst_
Here is similar bug report on Launchpad where the developer of e2fsprogs
(affected package) participates the discussion:

@spirit: You can fix the file system using the newest live CD without
upgrading the system. Just run fsck from the live CD, it won't change
the installed system. (Actually, you can use a live CD from a completely
different distribution such as Knoppix as well.)

Well, whatever it is, I know this has been fixed upstream and apparently
it's only a matter of backporting it to 10.10 and other releases.

E2fsprogs upstream doesn't use Launchpad to track its bugs, because the
interface is horrible from a developer's perspective. That's a
separate issue though.
This is a known problem which is fixed upstream in the latest
maintenance release of e2fsprogs.
