If this was a development kernel, just wait for the next release and that
should fix it.  I've gotten that a couple of times in the 1.3.7x series,
and the next release always fixed the problem.

Also, fire up cfdisk and make sure the nc flag is not set.  That can cause
problems as well.

good luck,
