A few questions related to this and some problems I had with it in the past

> 3) resize2fs -p /dev/whereverhomewas

Unless I missed something that would've made my problems a lot easier,
you have to also give this a size.  The problem i had was: you have to
give a buffer between the size of the filesystem and the size of the
partition.  I couldn't find a good rule of thumb for what this buffer
should be, though.
When I did this on my old laptop, I just resized the partition and
resized the filesystem (in opposite directions) until finally it
booted. (I'm sure that I'm somewhat lucky in that I didn't permanently
destroy anything in the process).  I'm sure that there's got to be a
more scientific way to figure this out though.  All I had found in
some tutorials I had looked at was that you needed a buffer...
Thanks,
