ORA-1578 will produce a trace file. In the trace file there will be moreinformation as to what type of corruption it is. This may be an Oracle
bug, an OS issue or something went wrong with the drive. Usually seeing a page full of zeros indicates an OS or striping issue. Contact Support with trace file for more details on your case. You can also try setting event 10231 which will skip corrupt blocks on full table scans, then reissue the select or use export to recreate that table.
