This has to do with XFS since these errors are getting more and more so 
I made up a second linux partition with enough tools to check my fs. 
After running an xfs_check on my /dev/hda2 (the main system) it said 
that there are a lot of errors (why? i have had ONLY clean mounts). So I 
thought to run xfs_repair on /dev/hda2 and it said that there was 
somthing to repair and it also said that everything's repaired. So, 
reboot the system and load /dev/hda2. And then I got a lot of errors 
telling me that (I guess) half of the files on my disk were not existing 
(very nice to get errors that no kernel-modules are available!).

ps: when trying do 'ls' directories I got the same errors as described 
in 'severe fs corruption'
