similar story here. After upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10 on my wife's old
clunker, it locks up 4 out of 5 times during boot up. Like post #3
problems occur prior to log on screen. A message is flashed for 2-300 ms
(had to catch it with a camera) which reads:

  "One or more of the mounts listed in /etc/fstab cannot yet be mounted:
   swap: waiting for UUID= etc, etc (my etc's)
   press ESC to enter a recovery shell"

at which point everything locks up. Sometimes it locks with the round
timer type icon displayed, other times it locks with the screen
partially or fully covered with a garbled coloured display.

The fstab file seems good, & the UUID number corresponds with my swap
partition.

Booting to recovery mode gives the normal recovery menu, but with a message 
superimposed over the menu saying it is waiting for the swap file, but also 
"could not access PID for nmbd" 
Is this a clue that something errant is happening with Samba early in the boot 
process? Any ideas appreciated.
