Public bug reported: I am running Ubuntu Server 10.04 as a guest OS in a VirtualBox VM. On my last reboot (which was a hard reset on the physical machine) and without having updated, upgraded, or in any way changed the configuration of the guest OS, the system hung during boot displaying only
fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2 /dev/sda1: clean, 56845/8232960 files, 18238353/32926208 blocks The boot process stalls completely. My ssh server does not start, and the only possible interaction with the system appears to be inserting the 'CTRL-ALT-DEL' from the VM host. Any press of ESC or a function key switches between splash and plain console. And pressing ALT-1,2,3,4,5,6,7 flips between VTs. The message is only present on VT-7. I've done a fair amount of research and come across the following: Group 1: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/573356 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/563916 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/563916 http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1560151 Group 2: http://superuser.com/questions/112848/ubuntu-nbr-karmic-boot-freezes-at-fsck-from-util-linux-ng-2-16 It appears that group 1 does not apply to me, as I've tried the following remedies 1. Pressing 's', 'm', 'f' in all consoles (This especially seems to indicate that the problem is elsewhere) 2. booting with a live cd, mounting my hdd and editing fstab and grub such that I've no tried a combination of: noplymouth, nosplash, noquiet 3. I've fsck'd the partition from the liveCD it's clean 4. There is no difference in booting from in recovery or normal mode Using the group 2 solution of booting with the kernel param 'nolapic' had no effect either. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Boot fails on 10.04 with message "fsck from util-linux-ng" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/655603 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
