There's quite an annoying bug in cooker at the moment. When you need to
manually do a fsck (when booting & it's detected problems on your disk
which it can't correct on it;s own), it says it's dropping you into a
shell (normally you'll have to give a password first) but it now
doesn't. No password is asked and no shell is given.
The crtl-C you can continue booting, but that won't help ofcourse if you
/ system is locked... That put you in an endless loop, the only way out
is to use some kind of rescue disk (linuxcare business card disk,
Mandrake installer, etc).
Please verify & fix...
