CentOS - Jun 2009 - One of my servers crashed, need help

Hello all,

I just installed a new beta kernel from Dzickus over at redhat. Rebooting 
causes this, no matter what kernel I boot from:

EXT3-fs error: device dm-0: ext3_check_descriptors: Block bitmap for group 
5008 not in group (block 167772160)!
EXT3-fs: group dexcriptors corrupted!
Mount: error mounting /dev/root on /sysroot as ext3: Invalid argument

Setuproot: /moving /dev failed: no such file or directory

And a bunch of other mounting errors. OK, so, I have a Centos 5.2 install 
disk, but what can I do to get everything back?

Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Gilbert

Try rescue mode?

Be prepared to restore from a backup too, doesn't look good.

Also I'd suggest running manufacturer diagnostics on your disk(s).
