[Bug 1152274] [NEW] filesystem mount failures during boot halt boot with a blank screen

[Seth Forshee]

Public bug reported:

A recent kernel bug caused mounting of efivarfs to fail in some cases.
When this happened the boot simply stopped with a blank screen,
providing no information as to what went wrong. This obviously isn't
optimal. If we're unable to continue booting we should at minimum
display a message to the user providing the reason.

** Affects: mountall (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Medium
         Status: Triaged
