I tried umount the partition /dev/hda4 (where my fc1 installed),
and then I issued "fsck /dev/hda4" - The program started working,
finally I was dropped back into the shall.
And I reboot. After that fc1 started and still fail to boot but just
dropped me into the shell as first time without any fixing . Seems
fsck can't help this time ( even when I issue fsck -A , of course
umount the /dev/hda4 first ).
Anyone can help further?

I have an idea.
See if there is a /dev/hda5 with your fc1 on it.
When I installed RH 8 on a machine /dev/hda4 is a generic mount for
extended partitions and I ended up with /dev/hda5 as the mount device
instead of /dev/hda4. I don't know if this is the same problem as your
but it may be worth looking at.
