boot problems

[Paul McDermott <paul@braille.uwo.ca>]

Hi I am having trouble booting my linux box. when i do boot my system is 
fine until it gets to the partition check. it says that /dev/hda3 has 
errors in its file system. It puts me into single user mode and tells me 
to fsck /dev/hda3.  When i do that it gives me the following errors:
hda: irq timed out status=0xd0 {busy}
ide0: reset timed out status 0xd0
hda: drive not ready

my system has the following configurations.
pentium-100mz
48mg ram
fujitsu 2.57gig hard drive
cirrus logic 5430 1mg video card
kingston eathernet card

i installed the 2.0.27 kernal from disks on jan.18/97 
thanking you in advance and help
