    I screwed something up this morning trying to mount my sd card reader
    (that's for another email). What's happening now, is I can't boot all the
    way up and I get an error saying there's problems with /dev/hda4 and that
    I need to run fsck.reiserfs manually.

    Having had this problem a month ago, I searched for my old emails and
    found what I thought I needed. The problem was that it was regarding my
    home directory (/dev/hda3) and not my root directory (/dev/hda4). I can't
    seem to fsck on the command line.

    I booted from my CD (9.0) and went to repair installation. I then selected
    my /dev/hda4 for scanning and it came back saying I had problems with it.
    I clicked, make repairs and nothing happened. It just sat there. I clicked
    accept and still nothing happened.

    Anyone have an idea on what I can try next? I'm not that familiar with
    fsck. Don't tell me about the man page, I tried and still don't get it.
    One other thing, during boot, I get an error with /dev/sdb and a ton of
    errors. I gather this was caused by my attempt to get my sd card reader
    working. Not sure if this has anything to do with my root problem.

    Thanks,
    Tom
