Another Kernel Panic Thread - need help!! Bad EIP Value? Need help

Hi all,

After a power cut last night my linux server won't boot from it's disk. I have successully booted it from the network though, and can view the filesystems. I ran an fdisk on the partitions and it appeared to come back ok (but was VERY quick). The kernel displays this just before it panics:

Code:

md: Autodetecting RAID arrays.
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 6f6c622f
 printing eip:
6f6c622f
*pde = 00000000

Can anyone suggest where I should even start looking? I've trawled google and more 'kernel panic analysis' pages than you can shake a stick at, but to no avail. Really hope someone can help, or at least suggest where to start looking.

Thanks in advance

I can not identify call trace..how it went... also EFLAGS and other general register values could be observed.. I am new to kernel, please dont rely on this info, but this is my opinion.. be if you find the problem you can also let me know...
