Could be it's wanting you to log in as root into a maintenance system to repair the filesystems manually rather than from a Live CD. What messages are displayed just before you're left at the login prompt?

This is whole story
the system starts with uncompress linux, runs through something very fast, too fast to read, then I get
"Fedora Core release 2 (tettnang)
kernel 2.6.5-1.3585smp on an i686"
(none) login:
the other thing is that I can't even type here?
yesterday I'd gotten to
"error during file system check"
I was able to login to (repair filesystem)#1 thats when I tried fsck and linux rescue.
I don't know I'm stuck, I'm a novice.
