after reboot I get again Error 17 from grub :( All I did was boot recovery kernel, write dmesg and lsmod to disk, enable my wireless network card and scp the logs to my other box for posting here and rebooting. I booted from the cd with ide=nodma and tried to e2fsck -p /dev/hda1, but the there is a bad magic number in the super-block and also in the alternate super-block. Then I tried to mke2fs -S /dev/hda1 to reinitialize the super-blocks. e2fsck -p /dev/hda finds unexpected errors. e2fsck -y /dev/hda does a gazillion things. Almost as if every inode has been corrupted. After it finishes and after rebooting I get grub error 15, so I guess booting without ide-nodma does hose my filesystem. This is very bad indeed.
