Ubuntu 9.10 install won't boot after filesystem damage
I was running a somewhat standard install of Ubuntu 9.10, when my drive got pushed into read-only mode, so I switched to tty1, ran /etc/init.d/gdm stop, and then ran fsck -y /. It took an hour or too, but eventually finished. However, now that partition is unbootable, and upon attempting to boot into Ubuntu, it complains about libsepol.so.1 as missing and starts a recovery shell. In this recovery shell, only certain tools work. ls complains about libacl.so.1, and the filesystem is still read-only. When I try mount -rw /dev/sda1, it complains about libsepol.so.1 again. I can however still run fsck. I tried running it with fsck -p -f /, and it completes, much quicker, but the system remains unbootable. I could probably boot into the Ubuntu live-cd to get read-write access, but I wouldn't know what to do. Any suggestions?
