I tried umount the partition /dev/hda4 (where my fc1 installed),

finally I was dropped back into the shall.
And I reboot. After that fc1 started and still fail to boot but just dropped me into the shell as first time without any fixing . Seems fsck can't help this time ( even when I issue fsck -A , of course umount the /dev/hda4 first ).
Anyone can help further?

sorry for my typo, and I input "fsck -A /dev/hda4 " (hda4 is where I installed fc1)
The system displayed version of fsck 1.34, and a WARNING !!! Running this may cause damage etc, Do you want to continue? and I enter Y
The proccess took place and finally displayed "Warning .........fsck.ext2 for device LABEL=HOME exited with signal 11"
and I was dropped into the shell again.
I reboot the system and still got dropped into the shell again! seems fsck can't fix my boot failure, does it mean I have to install from scratch? or any other alternative to fix the boot failure?

The command is "fsck". So as root you would do: fsck /dev/hda or fsck/dev/hda1, etc. according to how the drive is partitioned.

I have an idea.
See if there is a /dev/hda5 with your fc1 on it.
When I installed RH 8 on a machine /dev/hda4 is a generic mount for extended partitions and I ended up with /dev/hda5 as the mount device instead of /dev/hda4. I don't know if this is the same problem as your but it may be worth looking at.
