At least one of your control files is corrupted, or the disk it is on is bad:

00204, 00000, "error in reading (block %s, # blocks %s) of controlfile" // *Cause: A disk I/O failure was detected on reading the controlfile. // *Action: Check if the disk is online, if it is not, bring it online and try

//          a warm start again.  If it is online, then you need to recover
//          the disk.
