Sounds pretty crashed ;(
The best I think of is to try booting in single mode ("linux single" at the
lilo prompt or something similar) and see if that helps you get to a command
line. Then from the command line you'd run "e2fsck -c /dev/hda3" to mark
out bad blocks. But I fear you won't get to the command prompt even under
single user boot, so you might need a rescue disk to boot from instead.
