After applying updates to the computer yesterday, I came back to the computer to check on the progress of the machine. X had a white box where the gnome-terminal was and the only other thing on the screen was the mouse. No panels, no text. Since the ctl-alt sequence was not working due to the keyboard problem, I could not change to a VT so was stuck with killing the computer unclean. Anyway, now I can only boot up to the unmounting old root and these prompts. How would you be able to pass these process and boot into a single user mode or maintenance mode? Single user failed the same way as other runlevels.

Boot the machine with a rescue mode cd or other Live cd and fsck the partitions in the install, then try booting it again.


Thanks! I could not find a boot disk to try. The parameter I was looking for is init=bin/sh which got me into the system.
