Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: mountall
On 10.04 Lucid Server/Desktop installations, if a filesystem that is
specified in /etc/fstab cannot be mounted for some reason (USB disk not
connected, partition deleted, samba share not available etc.) the boot
process hangs displaying "Press S to Skip or M for Manual recovery".
It works when there is only one partition on error, but with more than
one, during the second message, pressing S/M does nothing and boot
process hang there.
As seen in bug #571444, a workaround is to press alt-sysrq-i and edit
your fstab to remove missing drives.
This bug looks like bug #571444, but on #571444 there is another issue
which is about "no plymouth theme, so no message displayed". That's why
I've opened a new bug specifically for "Press S or M does not work for
more than one partition on error" problem.
I've found when trying to debug/trace the problem that the problem come
from plymouth_answer function at lines 3037/3038.
the test :
if ((plymouth_mnt != NULL) && (plymouth_mnt->error != plymouth_error))
return;
is true as "plymouth_mnt->error" variable as been reset to "ERROR_NONE"
I'll post a patch.
