Nope, that still hits fsck. The only way I've been able to recover the system when it is in "brick" mode (i.e. fsck is queued) is using a live cd, and then adjust tune2fs or fstab as you suggest.

The config option is a new one to me, so thanks for that info. As you say, though, it's dependent not being in a graphical boot...which ubuntu is. Still, I'll add a bug to the bootsplash folks and see what they suggest.
