Fool proof testing again...

Well, I really did it this time! I have two Linux hard drives in my
system and can (formerly) boot three kernels. I downloaded the Feb. 25
version of EMC and moved it from one drive to the other. The foolish
thing I did (I think) was not umounting the drive after playing file
hockey between the drives. I did properly log out and shut down the
computer however, and that umounts the drives and all.
Anyway, I now have a BIG problem. I get a message that reads "You don't
exist! Go away!" when I attempt to boot rtlinux. My computer thinks its
name is "I don't have a name!". I also get a few other errors: 202
(extra stuff here) inode bit 6 already set. And 204 (extra jibberish
here) inode bit 6 already set. It also complains that it can't find a
extfs2 (sp on that?) file system and jabbers about a corrupted
superblock. That's the bad news... The good news is that I can mount and
access the whole drive from the other drive and everything is still
(apparently) still there.
Oh yea, The rtlinux kernel boots normally but when it gets to the place
where it asks for the user and password it fails.
Suggestions?
