It will enter maintenance mode if fsck was unable to fix errors as a previous boot-up. Boot with your RH71 cd, enter "linux rescue" at the "boot:" prompt, and your system will be mounted under /mnt/sysimage. It may delay for a little while while coming up if it's re-running fsck. After you have a prompt (navigate throught the text dialog boxes first), run fsck and you can fix the partition or inode errors.
