For starters, one gentle rebuke: Please include a subject line with your
posts. Lots of people skip posts with subject lines which are
meaningless or uninteresting to them (the "Digest" subjects always go in
my trash bin, for example).

What has happened here (my best guess anyhow) is that your system was
rudely interrupted by some sort of crash while in the middle of writing
to the filesystem. A similar situation can happen with an un-orderly
shutdown (i.e. power failure). The only solution I know of is to give
it the root password, go into single user mode, and run fsck from
there. You might want to man fsck first.
Note that you may have problems here since you only have one Linux
partition. I don't know if fsck will refuse to check the filesystem on
which / is mounted. This is a good reason to pay attention to the bits
in the install manual where it recommends splitting your Linux
installation over several partitions. But that's spilt milk now.
