i guess this should be considered a "bad answer" from the system:

hinting towards a very damaged HD!
What does dmesg say about finding any HD?
hda: Maxtor 6E030L0, ATA DISK drive
ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14
But at the end of dmesg I found this:
EXT3-fs: INFO: recovery required on readonly filesystem.
[...]
EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.
[...]
That doesn't look like /dev/hda is mounted; just the ramdisk.
Please give the output of *just* 'df'.
You might also want to run fsck on your hda partitions, and see if
that picks anything up before you try to mount them again.
Well, /mnt/hda9 (and all the other partitions) have been mounted now, and I am
copying all the data to another computer. This seems very much like a happy
ending. So now I will make a plan for macking backups *regularly*
Thanks for all the advices.
