If there is a sector 6033200 on that disk (i.e. the disk capacity is
larger than 3 GB), this is BAD and means you've got a defect block on the
disk.

That's usually due to filesystem metadata being overwritten by random
garbage. Doesn't mean all your data are lost, you just need to sit though
a lenthy manual filesystem repair session. I've had pretty bad looking
e2fs crashes and could still recover the bulk of my system.
inodes that cannot be assigned to a particular file anymore can be found
in /lost+found at the root level of each partition. Examine these files
carefully to see if they contain anything worth recovering.
