Need a live CD with a fsck.jfs on it


Well, my root partition was corrupted after loss of power, so now my gentoo system won't boot. I need a Live CD that can fsck it back up, but ubuntu never boots on my machine.

Any suggestions for what I could try?

Any that has a package manager should suffice - Knoppix maybe ?. I've never had problems installing anything I need with it.
