->e2fsck: Filesystem revision too high while trying to open /dev/hda2

Hmmm, regardless of what other say, I think it really would not hurt
to get more recent version of FSCK anyway. You seems be using 1.10
while according to Ted's web site current version is 1.15

http://web.mit.edu/tytso/www/linux/e2fsprogs.html

E2fsprogs 1.15 (July 18, 1999)
.
.
E2fsprogs 1.10 (April 24, 1997)

Just my two bits,

Adam
