fsck boot error

Hello,

During boot I receive an error as follows:

Gentoo-Boot: Unexpected Inconsistency; run fsck manually
Fsck could not repair all errors

What did I do now?

The filesystem is ext3 /root
The filesystem is ext2 /boot

Please advise - this worries me

Thanks,
Bill

Couple of questions:

- Are you booting a LiveCD or is this occuring after an install?

- What paritions do you have for Gentoo?

- Did you complie a custom kernel or do you use genkernel?

Please answer and maybe we can help some more.

Do you have the the root partition being mounted as "/root" in /etc/fstab. And when you complied the kernel did you include the file checking tools for ext2? I don't use ext2 at all so I don't know if its an option.

- If it was working fine till today I'm can't offer much.
