Dowloaded Karmic rc (took 10 days!). All appeared OK but on reboot system hangs on mountall. All I can do is hit [esc][enter] which gets me a read only shell so I can see everything but there doesn't appear to be any way to fix anything. I can't files with sudo vim, cant sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.

Any suggestions?

Anyone have any info on how to fix this? Just got hit with the same issue myself updating to karmic on an old P4 acer aspire laptop. Same symptoms, same ability to get into rescue console. No clue what to do to fix.

One additional note is that I don't think Karmic finished it's install as the system hard powered itself down during install and never came back up. At first I figured it was rebooting, but then after a good 10 seconds of quiet realized I was screwed. Now on boot I get this issue.
