There seems to be an encoding problem here... :)

Something here acts very strange. Can you please set aside the current
configuration and try manually by doing (as root)

  mv /etc/postgresql /etc/postgresql.old
  mv /var/lib/postgresql /var/lib/postgresql.old
  mv /var/log/postgresql /var/log/postgresql

and do this

> pg_createcluster 8.1 main --start

again? If that works, can you please tar up these three directories
and put them somewhere?

Also, what's the output of 'mount'? Do you have any file system
corruption?

Thank you,

Martin
