Incorrect device... (thinks)

I don't see how it could happen, but is /dev/ corrupted? What does "ls -l /dev/hda*" give?

I get

empeg:/empeg/bin# ls -l /dev/hda*

If you don't see this, then something's wrong.

EDIT: What worries me more is that the partition table has gone off into a wibbly wobbly world of its own, though again I don't see how losing the PC during a sync could cause that.
