I've been on location in Washington for the past two days. Thanks for
yours, and the other response(s). Last night, I was able to boot a
couple of rescue cd's, and it appears that I may have a bad sector on my
system drive. I can't mount my / partition, which is separate from the
/boot partition, so maybe that explains all the errors. More diagnostics
tonight...
If I was you, at this point I'd focus on making sure your user data is
properly backed up elsewhere, as it sounds like your drive might be
failing....
Sometimes this is useful in such miserable situations:

Yes, I've got ultimateboot. I'm going to run spinrite on the drive when
I get home. There's not a lot of precious data on this machine, as I
just built it two weeks ago. I'll also try the FC5 rescue cd, which I
didn't have last night. I was using the MEPIS liveCD from several
versions back, so it may have not been up to the task.
