I will try this first, but I think you are with the little errors. 2009/11/16 Mick <michaelkintz...@gmail.com>: > I assume that you ran fsck from a LiveCD?

That's where I first looked for advice, but the procedure doesn't help me fixing this issue over here. I think it would be nice if one sets up an article how to rebuild the current system. 2009/11/16 Volker Armin Hemmann <volkerar...@googlemail.com>: > probably that files endet in LOST+FOUND.
