OK, but even if there's nothing else to do but a clean install, before I back up (hoping tar isn't corrupted either...) how can I find out exactly what is broken (sw, hw...)? If nothing else, to report a bug, be sure that it's just a sw and not hardware problem? Also because if the _disk_ is broken, there's little point to reinstall on it, is there?
