Tuesday night I installed the newest TTCP patch and built a new kernel.
Something must have happened to my disk before I rebooted with this
kernel; when the system came back up a number of files had been changed
to random device inodes and none of the 3 slices would fsck cleanly.
Since then, whenever I try to boot a new kernel, I get the following
messages:

/dev/sd0s1a on /: specified device does not match mounted device
Filesystem mount failed, startup aborted.

Then I end up in single-user mode.  The part that is really confusing
is that I can boot the 2.2.6 kernel.GENERIC with no problem; I using
it right now.

I re-installed the ssys package from the 2.2.6 CD-ROM and recompiled my 
kernel just to be sure I hadn't corrupted a source file, and I've
searched the entire system for wayward device files, to no avail.  The
boot still fails in the same manner.

WTF?  Any help, or should I just clean the system and start over?
