I don't have LVM enabled :)

Well, he asks for mounting my /-partition. I have /boot on another partition. 
So it should be possible to fsck it.

I do not know exactly what I did different, but now I was able to fsck the 
/boot 
->filesystem was fine.

Yes, you did, but this were the steps I did before reading your mail :)

This is what I just did. Before that I tried to extract the old initrd. This 
failed with errors, because of sudden end of file. Sounds as if we slowly come 
closer to the problem ;)

So I created a new initrd with mkinitrd and once again tried to extract this. 
Same problem. I'm now trying to find a way to copy the initrd from the good 
machine to the broken one.

Yes I already asked the HP guys for a tool to check the raid and the disks, but 
no answer until now.
