For the record, I have tried adding the noresume and scsi_mod.scan=sync arguments to the kernel and nothing changed.

Sorry, I forgot to tell I have another linux box available. What should I do from there, however, to fix sda3? just run fsck (with which parameters?), reformat the swap or something else? > Personally, I would... just wipe the hard drive and > reinstall as it suggests that you have larger issues > on that hard drive. what kind of issues are you thinking about? "soft" ones, that is corrupted partitions, or something physical?
