Re: fschk error 8 on start up
I had similar problem on laptop and desktop today. When system fails to launch and you get error message type fschk. answer y to all prompts. Make sure to wait until system is finished as it takes a little time to complete some parts, and you are back at root command. Then control D to reboot. When system reboots it should be ok. It worked for me anyway....

Re: fschk error 8 on start up
try just doing an fsck, if its the root filesystem, you may need a live cd to do a safe fsck(doing an fsck on a mounted partition isn't always safe)

#/dev/sdb2 UUID=e2ce6ddb-8453-4090-a93a-3525a55336e2 /media/sdb2 ext3 defa ults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 #/dev/sdb1 UUID=855eada0-9711-45c7-96b4-ecc7425b6776 /media/sdb1 ext3 defa ults,errors=remount-rw 0 1 Also, only / and /boot should have 1 as the fs_passno (marked in red) field. All other ext2/ext3 filesystems should have 2. Read Code:
man fstab |

Re: fschk error 8 on start up
Code:
/dev/sda3: UUID="a5581b8a-ff2a-4ca4-adcf-57402a4a061c" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" /dev/sda5: TYPE="swap" UUID="3fd37586-5c8d-44b5-acfc-215c851964e7" What are these partitions? Where is your / partition? Why is it not in fstab? Are you dual booting?
