kinit: no resume image, doing normal boot "urgent please" using live CD and need my computer back.

[stevenvollom at sbcglobal.net]

My system crashed while I was installing xine.  I had installed the 
appropriate packages, and a window opened suggesting dependencies that were 
needed.  I clicked on apply, and got a notice I did not have sufficient 
permissions.  Since I was using kpackagekit, I thought I had already 
extablished sufficient permissions.  That was when the computer crashed, and I 
had to shutdown using the off button.

When I booted up, I got the "subject" as the last line of a konsole.  It was 
also suggested I try:  /dev/disk/by-uuid/cc9e070-52d6-41dj-81f4-9851083l436d) 
= dev(8,3)

When I entered the command, I got the following:

-bash unexpected syntax error near token ')'

The next line read:

steven at yeshua:~$  [  172.060886] end_request:  I/O error on device sdd, sector 
O

This was followed by 12 lines endiing with ldm_validate_partition_table 
():Disk read failed

None of this makes any sense to me.  Can anyone help me get my system back.
