If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock: e2fsck -b 8193 <device>

You need to fsck each logical volume, not the whole volume group, e.g.

e2fsck -b 8193 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01

or whatever.  
Look under /dev/VolGroup00 to see what's there.
