Can you suspend the graphical mode via some set of keys, unmount the file system and do an fsck, or do you have to boot up in non-graphical mode to begin with. If the latter, how is that done. I seem to recall there being a way to hit some key and enter a number to tell the system what level to boot to, but I can't remember the details.
CTRL-ALT-F2 # su # init 3
This will switch to runlevel 3 w/o need to reboot.
But, if the partition in case is the one, which is used for / , then this will not help.
Boot with the install cd/dvd, and select maintenace mode or whatever it is called.
This will boot from the install media, and will not mount the root filesystem. You will be able to fsck from there.

Well, I booted into Rescue mode from the installation media and ran e2fsck. When I did, I got the following message -- Superblock last write time is in the future Fix(y)? I said fix and it came back saying the volume was clean. I then rebooted normally and it still ran an fsck. So, I went back and booted from the rescue disk again, ran another e2fsck, and got that same message about the superblock last write time being in the future. I again fixed it, rebooted, and it still runs an fsck. Really strange.
