Booting into "failsafe" does nothing. The system can't "see" it.
Trying a manual mount as sda0, sda1 etc.. fails, as there is no
entry in fstab.
And to Anne : I have committed a report to bugzilla (no. 12205), as
there is no entry for 10.1 in Anthill.. Plenty of other bugs
concerning cameras, but no mention of the "runaway" process.
