Hi Alan,

Again thanks for your help. I rescued most of the hard disc, fsck succeeded in finding another superblock by itself, and AFAIS (still checking) all the stuff is still there.
The only thing I hate is the reinstallation procedure (many system files are hosed, inconsistent md5sums, ...) and that they will carry away my laptop for quite a lot of days (still under warranty, 2.5months!)
Best wishes
Norbert
