Same for me on a Dell MIni 9; whether forced or "natural", fsck hangs at 70% for a short time, then advances to 71% and the system promptly freezes altogether.
If I shut down with the off button and boot into the recovery mode of the same (latest) kernel, fsck completes and is followed by a lot of error messages about Plymouth failing, then back to the recovery menu. >From there normal boot is possible. -- Lucid boot failed to complete after fsck https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/554079 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
