Checked source.list.d files and source.list file that you specified. I
dont think I have http://ppa... or anything link with word boot enabled.
But, still your solution worked once and then, I tried to boot in safe
mode and repaired the packages. Again, I'm at the same point. unable to
boot :(

Next, I chrooted and did 'sudo apt-get update'  - thinking that this
might fix (i think it created a mess)

and tried to follow the step
"After that, you can downgrade:
sudo aptitude install mountall/karmic"

The o/p is below:

Bug description:
Binary package hint: e2fsprogs

When a check is forced the fsck process seems to hang. This was what was displayed on screen:

fsck from util-linux-ng 2.16
/dev/sda5 has been mounted 34 times without being checked, check forced
/dev/sda5: 176................. files (2.3% non-contiguous, 48128710/59556......

I left it running four about half an hour but nothing changed and there was no disk activity the entire time. After a hard reset both sda5 and md0 cleanly mounted.
This leds me to believe that the boot process will hang on every fsck (as this happened twice allready, and it hasn't gone successfully yet) and that an actual check of the filesystem therefore never happens...

Note that sda5 is a normal ext3 filesystem. I also have /dev/md0, but this wasn't checked when it hanged.
