Egad. You really, really, really need to update forthwith.
The list of bugs that have been fixed since 7.1 would curl your toes.

> FATAL 2: cannot read block 1802 of pg_log: Success
This suggests that pg_log has been truncated. Try something like
dd bs=8192 count=1 seek=1802 if=/dev/zero of=$PGDATA/global/1269
and try to start the postmaster. If it then complains about a higher
block number, add that one in the same way, and repeat.
I don't have a whole lot of confidence that this will get you a
self-consistent database, but maybe you will be able to extract
some data. Dump, compare against your last backup (you do have
one I trust), see what data you believe.
For heaven's sake, update!
