May be your file systems got corrupted. Do you have rootsh from extras installed??? If so try the following from within X-Terminal
Code:
sudo gainroot sfdisk -l mount

Hi michaaa62, thanks for your reply. I get the following output:
... that is: no output for mount
Code:
/home/user # sfdisk -l Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 977024 cylinders, 4 heads, 16 sectors/track Units = cylinders of 32768 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0 Device Boot Start End #cyls #blocks Id System /dev/mmcblk0p1 1 884864 884864 28315648 c W95 FAT32 (LBA) /dev/mmcblk0p2 884865 950400 65536 2097152 83 Linux /dev/mmcblk0p3 950401 974976 24576 786432 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/mmcblk0p4 0 - 0 0 0 Empty /home/user # mount /home/user #

Try if the following runs at all, and if it changes anything
Please post errors here
Code:
sudo gainroot fsck -af /dev/mmcblk0p2 fsck -af /dev/mmcblk0p1 mount -a

fsck says that mmcblk0p2 is mounted, and warns before running e2fsck "on a mounted filesystem"; mmcblk0p2 seems not to be mounted, though, and mount -a replies with mount: mounting rootfs on / failed: Invalid argument.

Code:
# autogenerated rootfs / rootfs defaults,errors=remount-ro,noatime 0 0 /dev/mmcblk0p1 /home/user/MyDocs vfat noauto,nodev,noexec,nosuid,noatime,nodiratime,utf8,uid=29999,shortname=mixed,dmask=000,fmask=0133,rodir 0 0 /dev/mmcblk0p2 /home ext3 rw,noatime,errors=continue,commit=1,data=writeback 0 0 /dev/mmcblk0p3 none swap sw 0 0

Before going on: Do you still have the FIASCO and the EMMC images, which you flashed with. If so, did you check the images for correctness using the md5sum, that are also available on the download pages. Those images may give you untrackable problems if corrupted during download.
If these are really proven correctly, try the following dangerous steps:
After the reboot try to check the filesystem of /dev/mmcblk0p2
If this runs without further errors, change the type of the partition back
and reboot.
Good luck!
If these are really proven correctly, try the following dangerous steps:
Code:
sudo gainroot sfdisk -c /dev/mmcblk0 2 0 reboot
Code:
sudo gainroot fsck -af /dev/mmcblk0p2
Code:
sfdisk -c /dev/mmcblk0 2 83
Good luck!

That didn't turn out too well, my device doesn't boot up anymore. That is, I see the shaking hands, the dots-animation, and then it stops, and the screen goes black.

Is this really PR1.3 you were flashing to the phone?
Try to take out the battery and wait a minute, then restart the phone. Your battery should be decently charged to avoid errors by low battery

Since a few days, my N900 doesn't receive sms's anymore, the recent calls list is (and stays) empty and the (shutdown?) menu that used to have a "offline" option doesn't have that anymore.
I have flashed both the rootfs and eMMC, but that didn't have any effect (for as far as my problem is concerned).
On internet I found a similar problem here and here, but the solutions didn't work for me. One peculiar thing came up, though: if I run
