Power cut woes

[Philip Heron]

Hi all,

I have an old PC running F10, setup to play a simple animation in a 
display. Nothing fancy. Yesterday the town was hit with a series of 
power cuts which seems to have well and truely mucked it up. I took a 
picture of the kind of errors I'm getting:

The HAL bit sits for ages, then the screen blanks. X fails to start, 
trying to login on the console gives me a password error, and ssh fails 
to connect. I've run e2fsck on the disk and it seems fine.

Should I just nuke it and start again? Or is there a handy way to fix it?
