During a required fsck session several filesystems returned this error message. I can't get beyond that. Is there a way to fix this or is the system just dead in the water?

What if you "fsck"  by  device instead of by label, i.e. run

fsck /dev/hda4

instead of

fsck /var

If the ext2 label is gone, it can be rewritten with e2label. Do not do this yet, though.

From the man page:

fsck is used to check and optionally repair one or more Linux file systems. filesys can be a device name (e.g. /dev/hdc1, /dev/sdb2), a mount point (e.g. /, /usr, /home), or an ext2 label or UUID specifier (e.g. UUID=8868abf6-88c5-4a83-98b8-bfc24057f7bd or LABEL=root). Nor- mally, the fsck program will try to run filesystems on different phys- ical disk drives in parallel to reduce total amount time to check all
      of the filesystems.


e2label will display or change the filesystem label on the ext2 filesystem located on device. If the optional argument new-label is not present, e2label will simply display the current filesystem label. If the optional argument new-label is present, then e2label will set the filesystem label to be new-label. Ext2 filesystem labels can be at most 16 characters long; if new-label is longer than 16 characters, e2label will truncate it and print a warning message. It is also possible to set the filesystem label using the -L option of tune2fs(8).
