Ugh :-(. pg_resetxlog should get you back into the database, but it's
anybody's guess whether and how badly the contents will be corrupted.
I would recommend trying a dump/reload and also doing any manual
consistency crosschecks you can think of.

Better take a second look at your disk hardware configuration. At least
in theory, this Can't Happen if your disk hardware is handling fsync
honestly.
