From what I see, it looks like you are trying to resize the file system 
on /dev/hda6 to be 7GB but, from looking at the size of the partition 
from fdisk, the partition is only about 6GB. I might be wrong on my math 
but it is only 8225280 * (1174 - 382) bytes, or, 6514421760 bytes. What 
I would try to do is just do 'resize2fs /dev/hda6'. Leave off the size 
at the end. In that case, resize2fs will just expand the filesystem to 
use the full size of whatever partition it is on. There is one idea.
