While you're in the root shell you've been dropped into, unmount the
/home1 partition, fsck it, and reboot. That is:

umount /home1
e2fsck -f /dev/whatever
reboot

This assumes you're running an ext2 filesystem on that partition. The
/dev/whatever you'll have to find out for yourself, if necessary by
looking at /etc/fstab.

You may find that the partition cannot be fixed by e2fsck. If so, let us
know and we'll think of something else.

HTH,
