DEBIAN WON'T BOOT

[J M]

Debian won't boot, here's the synopsis of the problem:  Most recently the 
computer began crashing simple programs such as Abiword when attempting to 
save as well as do other moderate tasks.  Up until now, the OS has not given 
me any trouble (had it for roughly 9 mo).  The other night, Debian decided 
not to boot, and started giving me attitude.  The debian load screen comes 
up, and the OS begins loading linux.bin off of the boot disk i use, it then 
quits and says that it failed to load the kernel, and it says I must 
'switch' disk and retry, or eject the disk and press 'restart'.

The only thing that I have done wrong is accidentally ejecting a disk 
without unmounting (did this the day be4 the com wouldn't boot).  Don't know 
what OS i have, believe is is ver 2.88 (it's the version which was most 
recent about 9 mo ago- when i got it).  Any help is appreciated thx!
