Today I had this issue a few times after each other for the first time.
When Plymouth was going on endlessly for the Xth time I pressed Enter,
which -- to my surprise -- killed Plymouth and presented me with a
recovery shell, preceded by the following message:
mountall:mountall.c:2726: Not reached assertion failed in boredom_timeout
General error mounting filesystems.
A maintenance shell will now be started.
CONTROL-D will terminate this shell and reboot the system.
After I had pressed Ctrl+D the system rebooted, but two multi-line error
messages were printed to the shell first. I could only catch a glimpse of them.
The first line of both of the error messages contained something like
"/var/{couldn't read this}/ureadahead/debugfs {text} device is busy {text}"
There was more, but I couldn't read it.
When the system had rebooted I got the "init: ureadahead main process
terminated with status 4", as usual, and the system booted just fine.
