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