RH 7.1 become corrupt after install

[Convert]

Ok, i finally installed rh 7.1 on my a7v133 ata 100 controller (btw, i did this with the simple kernel arguments, ide2=noautotune ide3=noautotune :D ) Now my new battle is this:

I installed rh7.1 twice with the same outcome... after a few hours of it running, the ide light starts going crazy.. then it just turns off and the system is totally frozen. Ctrl alt backspace doesn't respond, neither does ctrl alt del, or the numlock key. It looks like windows all over again.

Any how, when i force a reboot, i cannot come back. I press the reset button on my computer, and i get this message during boot up... it checks the drive cause it was forcefully shutdown, and i get the following error:

inode not attached
enter root password for filesystem maintainence.

I enter my password, run fsck, and it says that the error can be fixed, try e2fsck. Still no luck.

Please help. How can i repair this damaged OS.

I had a similar problem with Drake 7.2 and I couldn't fix it...others could though. Maybe try running fsck off of a boot disk? Don't mount the partitions though.
Regarding your non-responsive generally crappy performance in RH. How much RAM does your computer have? How much swap space? See, Mandy and RedHat both install a whole lot of stuff by default, and there are therefore more procs. The more procs you have, the more memory it uses up. As your available memory gets low, linux breaks out the swap space and starts swapping. Once you run out of swap space, things start to go to hell.
Do you have Gkrellm installed? Try typing "gkrellm" at the command line and see if it pops up. If you don't have it, get it cause it's a great program. Right-clicking on it should allow you to configure it. Get it to show meters for your memory and swap space. See if either one gets low. The same thing happened to me with Mandy 7.2...ran out of swap space and hda went berserk, thrashing about like a rabid dog. I soon couldn't move the mouse because the PC had this fixation with spinning my hda as fast as it possibly could. I had to do a hard reboot, and lost the system twice. Give a boot disk a shot. I'm tired and hungry. I'm gonna eat a sandwich and go to bed.

Well, the performance is pretty good.. but when the disk starts thrashing, it freezes, and it is all downhill from there.

1.2ghz Athlon
A7V133
512 Megs Mushkin ram
500 meg swap

Please help, i tried everything. Fsck does not work for my. I use 'fsck /dev/hdf1' but it does not seem to do a thing. Common, there must be a way to recover my OS. All i did is not shutdown properly due to my system locking up. I hate to say it, but windoze was never this stubbern. I always could fix it somehow. Now, since i am relativly new to linux, i am screwed.

I am sick of reinstalling rh7.1 every time this happens.
