Please, don't worry. I saw how good the FS was working (under a live
ubuntu CD) after the steps You said me to do - main problem is my
little knowledge on the kernel, init at boot time working - I still has
no clue - WHY the partition was not mounted. I saw on internet that
people were reporting about success w/ mount version even less than was
mine... It is kind of things when You are sure about something, but
then it suddenly fails and You: first greatly amazed, secondly just do
not know what to think or do.
