Sorry to butt in. I have just had a very short power cut (less than a second) and my UPS decided not to catch the glitch.
Anyway, the machine shut down and I have ended up with the same problem as above. When I start up Ubuntu it goes through a seemingly never ending file check and then stops at the maintenance shell with the root prompt. I have tried the suggestions in this thread but to no avail. I have been running 9.10 for the last week with almost no problems. I am no linux expert and really have no idea what commands I should try to recover my setup. Any ideas?
