Ok, when I got up this morning and turned on my suse 10 box, I got an error that says"
fsck failed. Please repair manually and reboot. The root filesystem is currently mounted read-only. To remount it read-write do:
bash# mount -n -o remount,rw /
Attention: Only CNTRL-D will reboot the system in this maintenence node. Shutdown or reboot will not work.
Give root password for login: "
Which of course I did and ran the above command (mount -n -o remount,rw /)
After that it seems to work, it just puts me back at the root prompt "(none)#"
ok so I hit cntrl-d to restart. (also i tried "reboot"), but when it fires back up again it goes through the same process.
I'm new to Linux, so this has really got me stumped. Any help is greatly Appreciated.

That message says to do two things. "Please repair manually". That is the key.
When you log on as root you have to run fsck, then reboot. This is the form of the fsck command.
$ fsck -C -y <root partition>
So if your root partition is /dev/hda1 then you would enter
$ fsck -C -y /dev/hda1
Then forget the mount command. Reboot the computer.

I can't be certain, but i believe that I am running ext2. anyway, I ran the command fscd /dev/hda3 and it says "Will read-only check conistency of the filesystem on /dec/hda3".... Do you want to run this program, YES/NO. i type yes and run it. it comes back with fsck.reiserfs /dev/hda3 failed (status 0x10). Run Manually.
By the way, Is it possible to see if I am running ext2 filesystem from where I am (the aforementioned prompt (none):~#)?
Looks like it's reiser not ext (fsck ran fsck.reiser when you loaded it).
To see what mounted partitions types are, type 'mount'.
Then, if it turns out to be ext3 run:
fsck.ext3 /dev/hda3
Tell us what the output is...there might be an error code (a number) that can tell us something if this fails.
Hang on...your mount output indicates that / is mounted read-write. That's not good. We need it remounted read-only. Before trying the above, try:
mount -o remount /dev/hda3
hmmm lot of output here, looks like several "bad_stat_data" occurrences. FilesSytem seems mounted readonly. Skipping journal replay. Checking internal tree../ 1 (of 3)/ 80 (of 133)bad_internal: vpf-10320:block 1835327, items 79 and 80: The wrong order of items: [294349 294351 0x0 SD (0)], [517 52994 0x1 DIR (3)] the problem in the internal node occurred (1835327), whole subtree is skipped. Then it goes on with more... any of this help? or do you guys need all the output?
umm no pecific error code i think...several entries saying object(...) is shared by at least two files. Cam be fixed with --rebuild tree only. then the scan finishe and sats "Comparing bitmap...vpf-10640: The on-disk and the correct bitmaps differs Bad nodes were found emantic pass skipped 3 found corruptions can be fixed only when running with --rebuild-tree" reiserfsck finished at.....
