That sounds like what happened to me when a hardware
failure (bad RAM) totally hosed my ext2 filesystem a few years back.
The inodes were basically randomized.
Glad you got the important stuff back!
I really hope this isn't a hardware

I agree with Paul, it sure sounds like either bad RAM or a bad disk
(or disk controller). Try running memtest86 (it's a boot option).
