You want a recovery mode to be a bit more interactive, perhaps interceding before each mount to manually do the filesystem check and attempt to mount - and then help you diagnose mount errors. And then step through each of them, until those are down. Then spool forwards (maybe offering an interactive "Start foo? y/n" type approach) until it's ready to start the display server. And obviously if the display server doesn't start, help to diagnose that, offer a fallback, etc. This should all be done in the normal boot too - if fsck fails, friendly recovery should pop up, not a shell.
