Filesystem check failed

I finished installing splashy then I rebooted. While booting Splashy said "Something failed. Quitting Splashy", so using the Arch install cd I removed the splashy line from the kernel params in the grub config. So my laptop starts up using the standard console and I get this error:

************FILESYSTEM CHECK FAILED****************
* Please repair manually and reboot. Note that the root        *
* file system is currently mounted read-only. To remount      *
* it read-write: mount -n -o remount,rw /                            *
* When you exit the maintenance shell the will                     *
* reboot automatically.                                                      *
***************************************************

Using the arch Cd I ran xfs_check and xfs_repair on my root logical volume (Root uses LVM), but I still get the above error.

Re: Filesystem check failed

Did you guys use the wiki (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Splashy) to set up Splashy? Basically.. undo what you did while installing Splashy, and it should be ok.

- Try to comment out the SPLASH="splashy" line in /etc/rc.conf.
- Also, try removing "splashy" from /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and re-run "mkinitcpio -p kernel26" - though I think this step can wait until you are able to boot into your Arch.

You can modify the aforementioned files by booting into any sort of live-cd (Sidux, Mepis, etc) and accessing the files on the Arch partition.

Good luck, lemme know if it works!
