If it is an IDE machine:
fdisk -l /dev/hda - Get a list of partitions
e2fsck -fp <patition> - Check each Linux partition
If you have more then one drive, check the other drives as well.
If you can not boot off the hard drive, you should run lilo to fix the
MBR. Depending on how bad things are, you may have to run e2fsck
without the -p option and manualy fix some things.
