[SOLVED ??] Mounting at boot results in segmentation fault

During bootup, when the system reaches the point to Mount Local Filesystem there is a segmentation fault.  The bootup then continues to a graphical login screen (KDM)  If we attempt to login an error message states that no home is available using HOME=/.

I've booted into a terminal, and upon typing mount -a, I get the segmentation fault again.
I could not list any directory contents.
What should we do?

Thanks

As an update, I ran a live cd and the partition do exist and are mountable from the LiveCD environment.

Re: [SOLVED ??] Mounting at boot results in segmentation fault

I rebooted into fallback option and ran fsck on partitions.  Then booted back into normal option and everything was fine again????

During the original problem I tried fsck but was given an error that the partitions didn't exist ( I assume because they weren't mounted.)  Was a very odd problem.  I guess it is solved, however I don't know what happened.
