Exclamation fsck died with exit status 4 [Solved]

So this morning when I started my computer up, I updated my system, and then I kept getting errors about how my file system was in read only mode. So I thought I'd restart.

When it was booting back up, it started fsck, and said:

Code:
/dev/shm/root contains a file system with errors, check forced.
/dev/shm/root:
Inode 5849438 has illegal block(s).

/dev/shm/root: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.
               (i.e., without -a or -p options)
fsck died with exit status 4
It then drops me into a maintenance shell, and I have no idea what to do really. It will do this over and over again.

Hopefully this doesn't mean my harddrive is failing.

I'm running Edgy if it makes a difference.

Thanks,
Rubbs
