[ale] Can't Boot! Need Super Block Wizard

[Scott McBrien]

It's probably asking you for the root password, then after the root password is entered, displays a prompt something like:
(RepairFilesystem 1)#

You really need the full error message. It could be that there is legitimate disk corruption. But more likely there's a device listed in your /etc/fstab that's misspelled or no longer attached to the machine.  If its the latter, not that big of a deal.  If its the former, that usually doesn't bode well.
