Unix will give you permission denied if you ever try to execute a program but the program is not set executable. Run:
ls -l /sbin/fsck*
and check that they are all executable. As to why any of them may have been set not executable, I have no idea. If you are still having problems, send the output of that command back and we can check that it looks ok.
issue the command: yeah there are executable (a nice greeny, that mean to me executable) but at very first of the lines: ?rwxrwxrwx 9 <bignumber> <bignumber> <filesize> /sbin/fsck I guess the bignumber is b'coz i am in the rescue-mode right ? But I don't know about ?rwxrwxrwx => what "?" mean then ?
