Can't mount proc filesystem on boot

I am having a weird problem. While working remotely on a server, I
started getting strange errors. I first noticed it when trying to edit
a file with vi. The error I got when trying to vi was segmentation
fault. Now I have rebooted the machine and it fails on boot with a
message that it cannot read/proc/mounts, no such file or directory, and
then complains that it cannot mount proc. When I go into linux rescue,
it shows both /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 as clean (/boot and /
respectively). I can also chroot /mnt/sysimage in linux rescue and go
in /proc and see that mounts is a sym link to /proc/self/mounts and that
self is a sym link to a changing directory named with a number. Issuing
either vi or mount within linux rescue still gives me a segmentation
fault. Any ideas what might be happening? Thanks in advance.
