Well, not exactly. But maybe what I do have may prove useful.
Just in the last hour I've had a scarry experience. 

Situation: I noticed several dozen lynx cache files sitting in my $HOME.
Since I wasn't in lynx, I figured it OK to rm L* -- bad choice. I
froze..
During the subsequent reboot the system froze during file system check.

So, I try going single user -- never got a shell prompt. Froze during
/home check.

So, I went init=/bin/sh. This gave me something like:

Switching to console tty0 ... No such file or directory
Kernel panic, unable to sync, trying to kill init

Got this from both 541 UP and 541 SMP ...

So, I backed up to 521.

I oops'd during my first run of e2fsck on /home. But, on the second
round it almost concluded. It found errors, including an illegal inode
in the orphan list. Just as it was writing the results, I got a GPF that
I was able to snag, namely:
