I am afraid that the partition table on your disk is fried, or the partitions have taken a terrible beating. The system cannot locate the proper partition to load the initial files from.
I hope you have a decent backup of your /home data, because this sounds like format and reinstall to me.
But perhaps someone else has a better, less drastic solution.

I'm running Mandrake 8.2. Last Wednesday we had a momentary power failure.
When I rebooted my computer following the power failure it hung on the Linux
boot. I have spent the last two days trying to solve the problem on my own
with no luck, unfortunately. Here is what I get on boot. It starts with
identifying my HD and CD ROM and then starts on the file systems. It gets to

mounting root file system
mount error 6
mounting ext 3 flags
Freeing unused kernel memory: 256k freed
Kernel Panic:
No init found. Try passing init=option to kernel.
