Can anyone tell me what this means, and more importantly, how to fix it?


After a pretty severe crash, I rebooted to find my kernel unloadable.
Not just the normal kernel, but kernel.old, .prev, and .GENERIC.
With some fixit disk fun, I was able to find a bootable kernel, and I am
currently making world up to 3.1 stable.
(Was at 3.0 stable.)

The error message was during the bootloader, as it sucked in the kernel:

"elf_loadexec: archsw.readin failed  
	input/output error"


What could have possibly caused this?
Ideas/suggestions are appreciated, as I am crippled without this machine.
:)
