It seems a bit strange that checkroot gave no output, just failure - as if it's execution didn't even started, and, since it's one of the first initscripts to start, prehaps there's a problem with bash interpreter or access to init.d path. Since you've mounted filesystem and it looks okay, you can try changing last two columns in /etc/fstab for root filesystem to "0 0", so script won't try to check it - that way you can see if it's something with fsck - prehaps the system will just boot. Then, if the rest of the initscripts won't throw some similar errors (possibly exposing the real problem), you can probably insert a lot of echoes/einfos to that initscript to see at which point everything hangs and check what's wrong with the command causing it. -- Mike Kazantsev // fraggod.net
