Is it an IDE disk? Are you running with DMA enabled? Some versions of the kernel have a bug with some IDE controllers that leads to severe disk corruption. If it's an IDE disk you probably want to turn off IDE DMA as early as possible in the boot process (I think it's "ide=nodma" in the kernel boot command line). Daniel
