Had some type of power issue and now one of my linux boxes won't boot.  I
booted from my boot disk that I created when I installed the system.  Last
message that comes up is:

Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount rot fs on 03:01

What things can I try to get the box up and running?
What tests can I do to determine if the data on the harddrive is still
there?

Thanks.
