This is what is says about the boot partition, /dev/hda1:
on boot

*Checking all filesystems...
fsck.ext2: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/BOOT
/dev/BOOT:
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains and ext2 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock is corrupt and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:

e2fsck -b 8193 (device) (------------->/dev/hda1 in my case)

/dev/hda1: clean 10/10040 files, 5695/40128 blocks
*fsck could not correct all errors, manual repair needed.



So I try manually repairing it with the command they describe, after unmounting it:
e2fsck -b 8193 /dev/hda1

and it fixes 4 errors. But when I boot up, I get the same message. My question is, can this be fixed manually, and if so how?

If not, is it ok for me to copy all files on it over to another folder, delete the partition, and remake it, and stick those files back on? What commad would I use in fdisk to put it at the beginning of the disk since the other filesystems are already created? Start at block zero or something else?
(this is a server, no X installed, so qtparted is out of the question.)

-thanks in advance

oh and one more question..
If I installed a stage 3, and I want to recompile everything for my cpu and use flags, whats the command? Is there a way to not recompile packages that I've already emerged and recompiled with the architecture and flags, but only the ones installed as stage 3?

About getting errors with "device" /dev/BOOT, you need to edit your /etc/fstab file and replace BOOT with your boot partition. The word BOOT is just a placeholder in the default fstab file. It looks like yours should be: "/dev/hda1 /boot ext2 noauto 1 1"
