As told above, thats gone for good. I have made the downgrade before I 
read the hint to make a copy of the file, and when I made the upgrade 
again to try the fdi-cache thingy hal worked as it should. So I believe I 
have only a copy of a working fdi cache file. If it had been an issue 
with that file, it apparently has been fixed by downgrading and upgrading 
again.

The problem so far didn't happen again. If it happens again, I will make a 
copy of the file before doing anything else.
