Actually ls is in /bin/ for me. It doesn't change anything.
I'm positive now that the problem is due to the fs, some weird messages
appear in the boot process, that must be it. Now, is there at least (so as
to begin) any way to get rid of these corrupted files (I cannot remove
them, since rm responds that there is no such file, and rm -f isn't
working) ?
fsck didn't help, though saying that 30 are messy...
Anyone has a clue ?
Thanks again
