fsck.ext2: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/hda4

The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>

Recycled power, and it rebuilt the database again.

I started Jemplode. It rebouilt the database. Then it complained I had no fid n. 2.
I could then upload a number of tunes without any problem. However, from the serial port output, I got this:

Still, on the UI of jemplode all seemed ok.

Then, I tried to uploade more tunes, and the first playlist stopped at 20%, as I coul read in jemplode. Now, it is there, sopped. I am trying to wait until I get some error. I will have to go through the entire file system check again. I think there is some problem with alpha7/ethernet.... I don't think it is cabling, since this happened with different cables in different locations.
