one of my friend told me that you have changed sticky bit permissions on /tmp

boot linux in single user mode and then run

chmod 1777 /tmp

will it solve the problem ?

exact error im getting while rebooting is

/tmp :UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY: RUN fsck MANUALLY(i.e. , without -a or -p options)

2

So: RUN fsck MANUALLY(i.e. , without �a or �p options) (supposedly in single user mode)

3

after giving root password

i execute

fsck /tmp

or

fsck /dev/hda8

4

fsck /dev/hda8

5

what to reply in

salvage<y> ??

Have you read and understood fsck's upfront output?
Not knowing what it output before, and taking into account that this is your /tmp file system, i.e. a data loss were not disastrous, I'd reply: "yes" - at your own risk!

i executed

fsck -y /dev/hda8

and it resolved my problem.
