I've got a problem with my 1 day old installation of gentoo

. I can't boot anymore... error: ..fsck.ext3 exited with signal 4

When i check i've got this error
#fsck /dev/hda3

/dev/hda3 was not cleanly unmounted, check forced
pass1: checking inodes, blocks, and sizez
pass2: checking directory structure
illegal instruction

Or a previous time ... exited with signal 4 lik in startup

typing
#fsck -b 8193 /dev/hda3
show's me the help contents

Are there any solutions except restarting my installation?

well, that "illegal instruction" is because fsck was compiled to a CPU that is not yours. if you use CFLAGS with the option mcpu=athlon and compile a program on an Intel CPU box, the binary will have AMD Athlon specific instruction that wont run on Intel's CPU.
What processor do you have and what CFLAGS are you using?

I've got a athlon 1400, cflags are set for my pc else i couldn't compile the kernel etc . but've got the illegal instruction only the last time the 10 previous tries i've got the exit code 4 thing..
