Server hung, wiki and blogs not available after restart

The server was completely frozen today, web services were still working for the end user though. I could not connect through the admin panel or through screen share. I noticed there were some kernel errors in the system log before I lost the admin panel.

After a hard boot, /groups and /users are not accessible.

I'm getting a slew of errors in the system log:
