Help.

One of my servers is down and I'm stuck.

It's a FC7 installation that started playing up on Friday.  Tried rebooting it 
yesterday remotely and it wouldn't boot.

Now I'm on-site and I've got the following on-screen.

I've booted up using the DVD, and done an e2fsck on the volume and it gave no 
errors.

  Booting 'Fedora (2.6.23.15-80.fc7)

root(hd0,0)
 Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.23.15-80.fc7 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
  [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x2c00, size=0x1df440]
initrd /initrd-2.6.23.15-80.fc7.img
  [Linux-initrd @ 0x1dc7f000, 0x36cef4 bytes]

Uncompressing L:inux... Ok, booting the kernel.
ACPI: Invalid PBLK length [5]
Red Hat nash version 6.0.9 starting
  Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...
  Found volume group "VolGroup00" using metadata type lvm2
 2 logical volume(s) in volume group "Volgroup00" now active
/sbin/init: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open 
shared object file: no such file or directory
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempting to kill init!

At this point it hangs.  If I boot into recovery mode using the DVD I can use 
lvm to access the volumes, but chroot fails because it cannot start /bin/sh 
on the chrooted fs for the same reason.

Can anyone give me a clue where to go next.

Cheers
