Constant sorry the directory you should do an ls -l is /mnt/sbin NOT /sbin I made a typo error.
Another thing before mounting the /dev/hdc4 filesystem do:
fsck -y /dev/hdc4
Keep the faith...;-)
As it is a reiser system I did reiserfsck -l check.log /dev/hdc4 and got some interesting information. Cannot find the log file ;-) and because my find gives me a guaranteed reboot (?) I will just tell what I remember. It said Bad nodes were found and a free block count 189861 (wrote that down ;-)) mismatches with a correct one 197678. 7817 bits. Can be only corrected with --rebuild-tree. I read the man page for reiserfsck, did not make a backup ;-) as suggested and corrected my permission denied with reiserfsck -l rebuild.log (where should I find that file?) --rebuild-tree /dev/hdc4. In my lost&found I find some twenty SuSEconf files. In /sbin/conf.d only SuSEconf.postfix. I am happy that I can install postfix again but I cannot find *postfix in /sbin where it should be and I did nowher find the command *SuSEconf I am still not complete but the situation is improving. Using Yast2 for installing I found that the SuSEconfig part is finished far too fast so I need some expert help.
