To confirm your questions: Yes, the upgrade failed in the middle of the reboot / upgrade process. The package was a parallel data viewer (I think paraview) which I installed rather out of curiosity. After it failed I had not written down any messages, since I didn't expect the whole system to be killed if a single unused application has problems! I don't believe in disk full problems, but I can't be sure, since I am not able to mount sda2. (see below after fdisk output)

Does this make sense to you?

Cheers, and already thanks a lot,
