Comment 42 for bug 554079

I can confirm what Rune Svendsen describes!
the updates of udisks, libparted0, mountall (and other updates from the last few days if involved at all) - may have changed the percentage level I am able to get to (-> now 97%, before there was no chance to get higher than 71%) but the result is still the same - the whole system freezes completely, no chance to switch to TTY anymore and the plymouth animation stops entirely with red dots. It is even impossible to en-/disable numlock anymore...

This is kind of getting serious since nautilus is getting slower and slower changing directories, which has come off for a few days now
