Managed to get a shell using http://upstart.ubuntu.com/wiki/OMGBroken I think this is a mountall bug. Running 'stop mountall' then 'start mountall' made all the services start again including x11 (which made the screen go unreadable, I guess as openvt was running). On restart the same freeze happened again, but 3 or 4 restarts later (after a guess of 30 restarts) fsck ran through plymouth successfully. So I think that defiantly rules out the fsck/plymouth bugs.
