Looks like your filesystem is flaky. Lost+Found is where fsck leaves
files whose directory entries have been lost. In an earlier message you
said the disk is fine (I'm assuming you're talking about the same
machine), however that *doesn't* mean the filesystem hasn't accumulated
errors over time, especially if it hasn't been fsck'ed on a regular
basis. This might, also explain your boot problems.
