Ubuntu boot freezes at fsck from util-linux-ng 2.16 2.17-2

Well if this happens to you, and the machine freezes on bootup after (may be) one or 2 successful fscks on a drive, and then it continues to boot up in teh background (so networking works), but the screen is non-responsive.
Then.... the reason could be that the device mappings have changed for teh drives you mapped in fstab!

Yup that sucks....
in my case /dev/sdc1 changed to /dev/sdb1

This happened when I migrated a VM from one ESX host to another, and then back again.
