First off, just a reminder: <http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#CYNUX>.

You have already given this information.

For the future, please *attach* your cygcheck output instead of including
it inline.  Inline cygcheck output produces too many false positives on
archive searches.

It looks like your postinstall scripts didn't run correctly.  Your
/etc/passwd and /etc/group are either missing or unreadable.  Also, it's
weird that mount doesn't show system mounts, even though cygcheck sees
them.  The mount flags for both /cygdrive show user mounts, not system
ones.  Very weird.  Unless you have too much stuff already in your Cygwin
installation (doubtful), your best bet would probably be to just reinstall
everything from scratch (see <http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_2.html#SEC19>).
