update. I attempted an update from 12.04.5 to 14.04.2 but the upgrade was corrupted. Then I did a clean install with Linux Lite2.4 kernels 3.13.0-49-generic 3.13.0-24-generic and that similar distro had the same stalling. I did many rechecks of RAM, gsmartdrive full disk check. No errors. Then I disconnected my USB hub (located in my floppy bay) and commented out my swap entry in /etc/fstab and reformatted the swap partition to ext3
My fstab was using ubuntu created UUID entries and all entries were working. I did more recovery mode fsck checks, they did not stall. I reconnected my USB hub to differing USB jacks on the motherboard, all recovery fsck checks worked. I think it is fair to assume that recovery mode fsck was stalling when checking the swap partition. do you think this correct? should recovery mode be checking the swap partition at all? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1430312 Title: recovery mode fsck stalling To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/friendly-recovery/+bug/1430312/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
