    Hello,

    I installed 9.3 on an HP ZD7000 laptop about a week ago. (I previously
    had 9.2 on the laptop for about 2 months with no problems.) Apart from
    several annoying problems with Gnome, 9.3 seemed to be working fine.
    This morning I tried to reboot the laptop. But the laptop will not boot.
    It gets midway through the boot process and it shuts itself off. I've
    tried booting the laptop 5 times, but the same thing happened each time.
    Before the boot process stops, I notice messages indicating that the
    "filesystem is not clean".

    How can I diagnose/correct this problem? Is there a way to determine if
    this if my system got corrupted or if this is a hardware failure? If
    the system is corrupted, can I fix it without re-installing?

    Thanks very much.

    Dom
