There ought to be bootdisk images on the CD. Also,
you may be able to boot directly from the CD, login,
and fix your HD filesystem that way.

It certainly seems that if Warp and Blowz can boot,
the HD as a whole is probably OK. However, it does
seem that your Linux partition is hosed in some way.
Once you get Linux booted, run e2fsck on the Linux
root partition and see what happens.
