So if you ran fsck and reported no errors, at this point just exit or ctrl d and that should reboot your server again, and it should come back, what is the message you got just above the "please provide root password " message? Chris Arnold wrote:

Using 10.3 and today the system was running way slow. So i ran top and see that xgl was using 7-8% of the processor along with some other things but nothing over 10%. I tried to shutdown using kde "leave" but the menu never showed up. So, i pressed te power button to shut it down. Upon reboot, i am left at a CLI error that in maintenance mode you can only control-D to reboot. I give the root password and am left at filesystem-repair/ prompt. Where do i find the log messages for the last boot? I looked in /var/log/boot.log and boot.msg. Are there some "disk checking" tools i can run? I am using the default boot manager (i believe it is grub). Thanks for any help. Oh, i also ran a hard drive disk test and the drive appears to still be good.
