It seems that not only ownership but also the device major and minor numbers for some of your disks have changed. You could not fsck or remount your /dev/hda2 because /dev/hda2 device entry in /dev is no longer points to your hard disk due to changed major/minor. These numbers for /dev/hda2 should be 3, 2 but in your listing /dev/hda2 has the numbers 2,109. It is the main problem with your system.
If you use LILO, you should start the kernel with the options init=/bin/bash, rw which will start the kernel with the root file system mounted read-write and will bypass usual init procedures. Then you should make correct device entries in /dev with the command /dev/MAKEDEV hda Then run fsck on /dev/hda2. Then change ownership on /dev/hda devices, if necessary. Then umount root filesystem: 'umount /' Then issue 'sync' command several times to write changed blocks to the disk. Reboot yor system.
