Have you tried using the "force" version of the fsck command. I am a bit vague about the point in the OS development when this became necessary to get results but I think it may be worth trying.
ive not looked at force yet.
I am also a great fan of the safe boot to cure unknown ills. That is to fire it up holding down shift and keep holding it until you get "safe boot" come up on the screen. Then restart as normal. It apparently runs the same kinds of checks and is often (apparently) more reliable.
this ibook doesnt want to boot into safe. if i press shift on reboot it starts booting and then our lil spinny spin thing stops.
