Yes, that would be nice. But with the system being a laptop I cannot
(easily) plug in the harddisk in somewhere else, and of course I
couldn't write a dump -- I couldn't even boot.

Pity that they are gone that fast and I couldn't note them down.
Well, anyway. I will try 2.6 again and see if something similar will
happen again. In case I hope to provide more information and a fs dump.
