Comment 11 for bug 146864

I have this same issue, however the situation was a bit different. I had a fresh install of an Ubuntu Gusty 7.10 variant (XFCE) and I simply shut down the computer (no errors or problems) and restart the machine. On restart, this message comes up and drops me to a root console. I cannot start X or the system. It is using ext3 but even so I thought I'd run fsck. After doing that, same problem
