At this point you should find you have a shell, or a request to enter
the root password so you can get a shell. Type 'fsck -c /dev/hda5',
and sit back and watch. Enter 'y' if fsck asks if you want to fix
something. When it finished, run it again to check everything is
still ok - it shouldn't fix anything this time - if it does, you
probably have bigger problems (such as imminent hardware failure).
Once you're happy, hit ctrl-D and the system should bootup normally.
