I have tried "fsck" many times but nothing changed. Even i tried to remove the option "errors=remount-ro" from fstab but nothing changed.

Now i can not boot, PLEASE HELP.

Thanks in advance,

Are you still using the same kernel as before?

I would try a more recent kernel. Either the latest one, or maybe one which is close to what Ubuntu shipped in 12:04. This may be changed in "Configuration Profile" in Linode dashboard.

I'm already using the latest 64 kernel.
