Is this a new install? ie can you wipe and start over or are you trying to upgrade? When my old machines give me this its usually some bad areas on the drive and I just reformat and reinstall.

"e2fsck -b ext2(0r 8193) /dev/hda0(or 1 or 2 or 3)"
Most probably the above command will fix the problem....
From In search of l33t [subverted.net]:
The guy also suggests touching forcefsck under root (/). IIRC, both of these things were suggested in Essential System Administrator [oreily.com]

You can force an immediate reboot and on the reboot an fsck by issuing the command …
shutdown -F -r
The machine drives will be unmounted cleanly, and the system will reboot. While the machine is rebooting the system will force fsck all drives that are set to mount automatically as specified in /etc/fstab.
