Hi
I am new with linux and I recently had an unwanted shutdown
now when I tried to reboot linux red hat it gives me the following msg:

Your system appears to have shutdown uncleanly
Press y to integrate filesystems check
checking root filesystem
/: unattached inode 1066714

/: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.
(i.e., without -a or -p options)

*** An error occurred during the file system check.
*** Dropping you to a shell; the system will reboot
*** when you leave the shell.
Give root password for maintenance
(or type Control-D for normal startup):

so I entered the root password and then I type "fsck"
following by "reboot" but it does not solve the problem because it goes back to
"Your system appears to have shutdown uncleanly" and so on....

i do not really understand what is happing ...
i also tried fsck -r, fsck.ext2 -a /dev/hda1 but did not work

thank you for you help

"did not work" really isn't useful at all.... run "fsck /dev/hda1" and that should do it for you ok.
