I had this problem using reiserfs. You basically need to do a fsck on this
partition. For whatever reason the file system check fails at boot. Maybee
try to add the 'ro' option to the end of the kernel line in grub when you
boot? ro = read-only

You can use the ubuntu live disc, or knoppix, or another linux
installation on your system, I am not aware of a way to do this while
having the drive in question mounted ie booted into ubuntu on the
partition having the problem.

example:

fsck /dev/hda1
