Comment 83 for bug 571707

I tried arand's plymouth and mountall packages from stable and they work... sort of. With the patches:

* fsck now proceeds at normal speed
* Pressing C is no longer ignored

That's the good news. The "sort of" goes with the second point. Pressing C ought to resume the normal boot process, preferably with some sort of user-friendly message like, "File check skipped." Instead, pressing C produces the following message:

Serious errors were found while checking the disk drive for /
Press I to ignore, S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery

First of all, no, serious errors were not found. Plymouth is just saying that. Secondly, pressing I, S, or M is ignored. This behavior is mentioned in the forums, so it's probably a separate (as of yet unreported) bug. Just thought I'd bring it to everyone's attention. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9255657
