Hi funhouse,
First of all- welcome to our site. :)
We don't troubleshoot technical prolems in our Community Introductions forum, so I've moved your thread to a forum which is more suited to your question, and in which you will get more responses from our other Linux-savy members.
In terms of the problem:
As I'm sure you know, the power outage obviously corrupted one or more of your filesystems by shutting down the system before it could properly flush cached state information to disk. You are being dropped to the shell because the auto-fsck failed, and it is now basically telling you that you should run fsck manually from the command prompt.
Before you do though, it wold be good get more info on your partition and filesystem types/layouts, as running fsck incorrectly (using the wrong switches/specifying the wrong options) against a damaged filesystem could make matters worse. Also tell us what distro you're using, including hte specific version.
I would enter in Safe Mode
and do a fsck -Y /dev/hda1
It is really good to have this done ..
./thanks
