Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 10.10 will not boot after an update containing kernel packages.
I have a clean install of Maverick on an IBM ThinkPad T41P. Everything
was working perfectly until I did an ordinary system update. The update
finished with an error and the filesystem had become read-only. After a
reboot (Ctrl-Alt-F1, login, sudo halt, power-on) the system can not find
/sbin/init during boot, and falls back to the initramfs busybox prompt.
I tried to use the install CD to do fsck.ext4 on /dev/sda5 (root
partition), but fsck reports the partition as mounted. It is not in
/etc/mtab, nor can it be unmounted with sudo umount.
