Ubuntu server (VM) hangs after “Begin: Running /scripts/init-bottom … done”
My bootup hangs, as seen in the image below. (there has been an update. check the edit below)
When I press escape, it tabs to this screen :
The whole story :
This VM ubuntu server is used for a website. The website suddenly had an error, and I thought turning it off and turning it on would fix it. (heh)
Never had I been more wrong.
So I ran sudo /sbin/reboot which I do sometimes and it normally works afterwards. But this time, it doesn't.
I tried accessing the VM console, rebooted it from there, and now the bootup hangs at the shown image above.
Help?
Additional details :
- Ubuntu linux 3.0.0-32-server
- We're using vSphere client for the VM
- As you can see, I'm not exactly the Linux expert
Edit
I removed the fsck checks but it still hangs. I pressed Ctrl+Alt+F1 to see the text logs and this is the result.
boot init

For what it's worth, ubuntu 11.10 is now end of life... while not a solution to your issue, this might be a good time to consider upgrading to 12.04 or 14.04.
