Probably system was not booting because of a faulty hard disk, and the
fault also involved some WAL files. Once reinstalled, the system marked
as unusable the faulty sectors and everything is fine now, except for
what was corrupted before..........
I'll tell him to have a deep check of OS events and of the disk itself.

Thanks
