That's a Linux boot message telling you something is wrong with the hard disk. Fsck is the Linus File System ChecK utility that will examine the disk for errors and try to mark them as bad.

Even if it does "fix" the disk, it's probably old enough that it will fail again soon. You might consider replacing it since they are now less than $100.
