Ok, then this doesn't seem to be related to the actual problem.

But is this really the only thing you see under the graphical splash?  Can
you try booting with the 'splash' boot argument, in case there are messages
being lost while graphical splash is not being displayed?

Title:
  mountall blocks boot

Status in “mountall” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  after upgrading to Quantal the system no longer boots.
  I've debugged the issue by booting with init=/bin/bash and it seems that mountall fails to spawn a few processes because PATH is wrong.
  Here is the strace output:

  [pid  3302] execve("swapon", ["swapon", "/dev/sda2"], [/* 9 vars */]) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
  [pid  3302] execve("/bin/swapon", ["swapon", "/dev/sda2"], [/* 9 vars */]) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
  [pid  3302] execve("/usr/bin/swapon", ["swapon", "/dev/sda2"], [/* 9 vars */]) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
  [pid  3302] write(2, "mountall: swapon /dev/sda2 [3302"..., 61mountall: swapon /dev/sda2 [3302]: No such file or directory
  ) = 61
  [pid  3302] write(15, "!", 1)           = 1
  [pid  3277] <... read resumed> "!", 1)  = 1
  [pid  3277] close(14)                   = 0
  [pid  3302] exit_group(0)               = ?

  here mountall fails to spawn swapon, but the same happens to fsck.
