Comment 91 for bug 571707

Deeply depressing, I just feel like a newbie reading all this stuff even though I've been completely M$-free for almost two years, but I have the same problem, I've been watching the boot screen for nearly an hour, this really ought to be a top priority for an automatic update, it's completely unacceptable to have so many people affected. My PC is eight years old, my 10.04 install (updated from 9.10) was updated this very morning. Right now I'm off to investigate the various methods for ensuring that fsck never even begins, ever...
