U have any kernel installed(2.4) when you have a choice of selecting the kernel in booting option, if yes do go for it and then do the remedy for 2.6.8-2-686.

go ahead and give it the root password. It will then give you a command prompt. Then type

Code:

e2fsck -y /dev/<whatever device it is>

This will check your filesystem, and repair any problems found. This error you are receiving happens to me sometimes too. It happened a lot when I was using a windows driver to view my ext3 partition under windows. I'm not sure what causes it other than the HD having bad sections. It's not really that big of a deal
