Boot time file system check doesnt finish properly, removing the splash screen from boot options fixes the problem

Just upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10 and now I get the following message on every start up when my system didnt shutdown cleanly before.

File System Checks Are in Progress:
/home(/dev/sdb3) ...%
Press ESC to Cancel Checks

Sometimes, after the Escape was pressed, the system wont start up properly and the login screen wont appear also.

It was a blinking row that described the percentage progress bar. Since it looked funny visually, I tried to remove the splash image (from boot options at boot time), and wow, it worked. No more file system checks afterwards (not the unnecessary ones)

I believe there is some connection of this with the splash image.

This looks like a bug in 'fsck' not 'showfsck'. Re-assigning package.

9.10 has reached end of life, are you able to reproduce this on 12.04+?
