Comment 16 for bug 501801

Similar problem here, planned disk checks at boot get stuck into an infinite loop on my T61. The progress % displayed on the boot screen (is that what "plymouth" is?) keeps increasing but at a slower and slower pace.

Hitting ESC shows the fsck output, and it keeps re-checking the same partition (/dev/sda1)! Seems like it just doesn't realize it's just been checked. See attached picture.

Should I open a new issue? There are a bunch of similar issues that have been closed as duplicate of this one.
