I did a bad thing. I shut my system down improperly. My monitor quit working and my attempts to get it back up failed. So I just killed my machine. I was online somewhere at the time.
When I got the monitor back up and running and attempted to boot back into Ubuntu I got the following:
fsck 1.40.8 (13-Mar-2008)
Filesystem seems to have fatal corruptions. Running with --rebulid-tree is required.
Reiserfs super block in block 16 on 0X803 of format 3.6 with standard journal blocks (total/free): 13428320/4676743 by 4096 bytes.
Filesystem is Not clean
fsck died with exit status 4.
*an automatic file system check (fsck) of th root filesystem failed. A manual fsck must be performed, then the system restarted.
The fsck should be performed in maintainance mode with the root filesystem monted in read-only mode.
*The root filesystem is currently mounted in read-only mode, a maintainace shell will now be started.
After performing system maintainance, press CONTROL-D to terminate the maintainance shell and restart the system.

bash: lesspipe: command not found

root:mycomp:~#
So from there I've run fsck. I've tried it plain, -A, -r, and other variations.
With -r I got something like this:
bad_paths the left delimiting key [14012 14789 0X0 SD (0)] of the node (2425622) must be equal to the first element's key [14011 84535 0X0 SD (0)] within the node.
bad_stat_data: The objectid (11489) is shared by at least two files. Can be fixed with --rebuild-tree only.
finished
comparing bitmaps.. vpf-10640: The on-disk and the correct bitmaps differs. Fatal corruptions were found, Semantic pass skipped 2 found corruptions can be fixed only when running with --rebuild-tree
I'm obviously not understanding how to run --rebuild-tree. I was thinking that it was a function of fsck, but if so I'm missing it. If it's some other program, then can someone tell me how to run it? I should also mention that it's my root system that's corrupted. Does that mean it's not repairable? And I did see a post that said something about the alternate CD's having some sort of repair installation function, would that help me repair a file tree?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
