Filesystem check failed

Hi,
I know there are many topics on this in the forums but I tried some solutions ans none seamed to help:
After I updated my system(I don't know if it is related), I can't boot anymore, because it stops with the message "Filesystem check failed" and then there is a terminal to repair the filesystem. The last message is /dev/sdb2 mounted which is an ext2 partition for /boot. First I tried fsck but it couldn't find any errors. Then I used a livecd and used reiserfsck on /dev/sdb1 (later even reiserfsck --rebuild-tree /dev/sdb1) and e2fsck -p on /dev/sdb2 but it didn't help. I also tried to change the partitions in fstab to the UUIDs but it didn't change.
How can I repair my filesystem? Is there something like a log?

Re: Filesystem check failed

did you try to adjust your /boot/grub/menu.lst?

like this:

kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/36743690-710b-468a-bb1e-1b212e5ee435 resume=/dev/sda6 vga=0x37d ro

Re: Filesystem check failed

Maybe unrelated but see http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=92716

In resume: try to delete /etc/blkid.tab and reboot.
