Filesystem check failing; can't enter maintenance shell. [SOLVED]

Originally, arch wouldn't let me log in, complaining of an incorrect shell entry. (This is a recently re-setup system of mine, so I only have a root account.)

So I booted into the LiveCD, mounted my root partition, and editted /etc/passwd so that it pointed to the correct zsh path. But I rebooted without thinking, and without unmount. DOH!

Now Im getting the "FILESYSTEM CHECK FAILED: Please repair manually and reboot" error on boot, constantly. I've gone into the Live environemt again, and fsck the partition - didn't help.

Ideas? I've seen a recent topic similar to this one, but couldn't find help in it.

Perhaps your system is trying to boot on the wrong device?

Thank you for the reply.

However, after many more reboots, it finally checked the disk, and is now working.
Thanks.
