Is there any history to this problem, or did it just suddenly occur after a
reboot? Have you done any partitioning recently for example?

Whats the output from e2fsck /dev/hda2?

Does dmesg give anything away? ie: 'dmesg | tail -60'

There is a link on this page:
http://www.linux.net.nz/lists/WAILUG/2003/01/0003.html that leads to script that
will rebuild the superblock. I have never tried this though, so don't know what
the risks are to your data.
