I came home today to find this on the fileserver:

(sorry for the large image)

Also when I reboot, i get the same thing.

Any suggestions on what I can do to get it up and running again?

Thanks in advance.

How about booting from a gentoo CD and doing a fsck. The kernel panic seems to occur while fscking - Maybe the part of the disc containing fsck.reiserfs or the kernel itself is corrupted on the disc and looking at them with a version known to work (from CD) can fix it ...

thanks.

i'm still kinda a n00b at this, especially with booting off the cd and chroot or whatever I need to do.

Could you type out a bit furthor how I would go about doing that?

Thanks!

you dont need to chroot or mount anything.
Just boot from CD - and then type

Actually, I think you had it spelled wrong. I just typed fsck.reiserfs /dev/hda3 and it did it thing.. hopefully it'll turn out well.

Thanks!
