# umount /

Do you have an exotic disk setup? Can you read the files?

Solution:
Enter your password and enter that login (don't press Ctrl+D as it says)
umount /dev/sdXY (umount any drive )
then, nano /etc/rc.sysinit
find the spot where fsck is running. Run the exact same command that rc.sysinit runs (there are some variables there, you'll find them a bit higher). (copy the command to a piece of paper or something, and then run it the console or through a live cd, again with NO hard drives mounted)

thanks! I tried but there is too many codes on /etc/rc.sysinit which I can't understand (I don't know linux coding),I don't know which commands should be ran.

E
I can use nano to open the files,so the files can be read. I don't have exotic disk setup, and my /etc/fstab is correct. I just ever boot a Ubuntu 9.10 live cd ,after that above mentioned problem came ...

the problem has been fixed
My root files on /dev/sda3
my /home is on /dev/sda4
All I did before was just fsck /dev/sda3 but /dev/sda4
I tried to run "fsck -t ext3 /dev/sda4" as well ,it works!
thanks all of you guys.
