When starting my SME server, I get
**An error occured during the file system check.
** dropping you to a shell : the system will reboot when you leave the shell.
give root password for maintenance
(or type control d for normal startup)
I type the password and get
(Repair filesystem) 1#
It does nothing after that, if i try control d it puts me back in the same place.
it says run fsck manually but i have no clue what is going on or how to do that.
what do i do?
any suggestions would be appreciated.

Try this for IDE drives:
fsck /dev/hdx
of this for SCSI drives:
fsck /dev/sdx
or this for RAID:
fsck /dev/mdx
(x = the drive)
If this does not work then my memory is bad, as it has been a while since I had to do this.

Maybe this helps too..
If you have a suspect disk, you might also want to try efsck
I recently had a 50G drive going funny, after applying the following spell
(took al night) it's totally happy again!
e2fsck -cvpy /dev/hdaX
typing 'e2fsck' at the prompt will show you the options available.
Before you do this, be very sure to read the man pages.
and on large disks this takes a LONG time!
see man:efsck at : http://nodevice.com/sections/ManIndex/man0299.html
have fun,

Just reboot.
If it fixed the problem, you simply reboot and all is well.
If the problems were so bad it could not repair them, (unlikely) then you have a real challenge, and I would suggest you find someone locally who has a lot of unix knowledge.
He/she might be able to rescue some of you data.
If you are not sure, be carefull, it's easy to loose everything.
good luck.
