I have the same issue in 13.04, however I don't get any messages. To be able to continue I need to edit my grub options by removing "quiet splash" and adding "nomodeset". Then I get the prompt for "Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery". -- You received this bug notification because y

I have reproduced this on the Ubuntu 12.04 LTS AWS AMI. Resolving an error is particularly nasty when using cloud services, as a second, running instance is required to debug the cause of boot failures. On AWS, this involves removing the EBS system volume from the instance then mounting it temporar

I experienced the same boot hangup on a 64 bit 12.04 Ubuntu after the update of plymouth to Version: 0.8.2-2ubuntu31 I had a missing swap partition in my /etc/fstab file which triggered some mountall warning before. Seems like the new plymouth takes this error seriously and the system will not

Ok, if the messages are not showing up, that would seem to be a bug in plymouth rather than in mountall. And it seems to be specific to use of a serial console. Could you post the full contents of /proc/cmdline on the affected system? (Even better would be to run 'apport-collect 1096307' and let

Ed, which version of mountall do you have installed here? By design, mountall should notify the user of this mount failure via plymouth, but as your sample fstab entries show mount points that are not required for the OS to boot, they should not block the rest of the system from being started. As

Please elaborate on what you mean when you say "mount a non-existing device node". Do you mean you've added an entry to /etc/fstab? If so, please show the exact fstab that triggers this issue. A missing system filesystem caused by an incorrect entry in /etc/fstab, or a failed disk, is indistingu
