My laptop running 3.4-RELEASE decided it doesn't want to boot.
It was uncleanly shut down via the power switch by someone
who thought they were shutting down a different machine.

Now when it boots, running fsck gives this result:

Well, yes in fact it is a portable PC :-)  It just seems to hang
at this point, even though there seems to be disk activity (like
it's continuously retrying).

This machine has run fine under this kernel since I installed
3.4-REL a month ago or so. This same problem happens with the
3.4-REL GENERIC kernel.

Before this, it was running fine with a 3.0++ kernel and never
had this problem after many power cycles.

Is there any hope in getting this machine to work again??
Howabout disabling DMA? Is there some way to do that?

Thanks for any pointers..
