This looks like a traditional one-bit memory error - either in cache or in main memory. It should probably be all zero's (meaning "no page directory" which is pretty normal ), but it has gotten corrupted, so..

The inode number is 4194306 = 0x00400002. Again, it looks like it should probably be just a plain "2" which is the normal ext2 root inode number, but something corrupted it and set one bit in the number (note how it's the same 00400000 bit again..)
