I have a similar problem in Edgy, only it's not the root filesystem that causes problems.
My layout is as follows: Primary: /dev/hda1 FAT32 +-3GB (Acer recovery partition) Primary: /dev/hda2 FAT32 +-55 GB (Windows partition) Primary: /dev/hda4 ext2 +-100 MB (/boot) Logical /dev/hda5 ext3 +- 20 GB (/home) Logical /dev/hda6 ext3 +-12 GB (/) When booting, the system falls back to a shell while checking /dev/hda1. That's where it stops. It just stays there, which seems very strange to me. I used to have the same problem on Dapper, but I got hold of a solution ( http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=260774 ), and there was also a temporary solution (Ctrl-C and Ctrl-D to skip the file system check). I upgraded to Edgy, and the problem came back. The annoying thing was: Ctrl-C and Ctrl-D didn't work anymore, and the definite fix didn't work either. I tried booting from the LiveCD and checking the file systems from there (it worked), but that didn't make a difference to Edgy. After that, I decided to do a clean Edgy install. Turns out the problem persists! Basically, I can't access Edgy anymore (I'm typing this from Windows). -- filesystem check fails on boot, but filesystem isn't bad https://launchpad.net/bugs/48563 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
