Comment 5 for bug 554079

I have the same problem - fschk seems to hang (in my case at different %-stages).
Noticeably - The scan process has already started before the number of disks to be checked is suddenly increased from "foo bar...% 1 of 1" to "foo bar...% 1 of 2" !
The option to interupt with C is visible (all the time) - but the system seems to reach a point during the scan where it is not responding any more.
I am also not able to switch to any tty and have to use the reset-button - the following reboot works fine, without any fs checks

off topic:
During bootup I always get the message:
"Your disk needs to be checked for errors, this may take some time"
but no disks are listed (that should be checked) - in this case, the system boots flawlessly without any file system checks
this may have something to do with the fact that I got "soft-resets fails"-messages on bootup since karmic but thats just a stupid guess..
