can't boot in to linux any more


Hi,
I was doing some stuff in linux (I don't think it matters what I did) and I decided to reboot. Because my root partition had'nt been checked after 22 boot-ups, I was checked automatically. Nothing wrong until then. But when I rebooted again, the kernel coulden't e2fsck my root partition and I landed in the mentanence mode. It said I had to perform e2fsck manually. So I did "e2fsck /dev/hda4". But then I got the error message that there was no ext2 files system on the superblock or the superblock was corrupted.
So now I can't boot my linux system, well I can boot but I will only get in to mentenance mode but what good is that.
I really don't know what to do. If you gues don't help me, I'l have to reinstall my system.
The distro I used was debian knoppix 3.1 this a 2.4.19 kernel. I did an fsck with a rescue disk but it only said the partition was clean.

This may be an co-incidance (how do you spell that ?) but the problem decribed in this threat :http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...110#post174110
is also my problem. Only I get this message while I did'nt re-partition any thing.
He is also using debian although I don't know if that has any thing to do with it
