Ok, the problem occurred again... However for some reason it did not capture the errors on the USB drive. I did happen to have a console open at the time and managed to get the response from a dmesg output. It was swamped with the following text:
Again no other errors captured because the data is lost and the system is now no longer able to boot. Just hanging after the filesystem check occurs...
I'll start rebuilding the system *again* using the old Ubuntu 8.04LTS version... The last known good version.
