file problems

[Martin Marques <martin@bugs.unl.edu.ar>]

I got to work today and found that my debian sparc didn't respond 
(keyboard, X, etc. dead). I could get to it via ssh, but very strange 
things happend, like w, ps, top dying with exit 137 (they just printed the 
killed message).

Then I rebooted and found that X didn't come up.

Checking out, I found this:

martin@bugs:/space/home/martin$ ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/libGLU.so.1
?--------x 1024 3758227200 536870912 117497918 Feb 21  1989 
/usr/X11R6/lib/libGLU.so.1

This file I can't touch it at all (as root), not even change the file 
permissions.

Looks like a file corruption, but how can I force a file check on debian 
sparc. For some reason I can't get to the silo menu, and even if I do, how 
do I pass parameters to the kernel so it starts ro?

Any ideas?
