I managed to do a xfs_repair on it with the install cd ...
and had a running system again.
Only other problem I noticed = the pcmicia package = faulty ... I cant get my
network card to work ... will look into that ...
(the stock pcmcia , coming with RH7 aint good also ... it has flaws ... like
in unstable under high load ...
So I managed to rectify the situation and could reboot.
I checked the moved file's (in lost+found) and they were both device files ...
so I think there's something with devfs ....
I will retest in a few
