Hi,

You could boot of a LiveCD and force a check on all your file systems

Code:

# fsck.ext3 -f /dev/sda1
# fsck.ext3 -f /dev/sda2

Let us know how that goes and if you still get a problem on reboot.

'-f' is to force a check even if the filesystem apears to be clean.

Code:

$ man fsck.ext3

Do you have a rescue CD from which you can boot? (The SystemRescueCD is one of many possibilities.)

Boot from a rescue CD and run e2fsck -v /dev/sda2 The -v option will generate a lot of output, but you should be able to see what is happening at 43.1% when the program seems to stop.

Note that the "percent completed" computation seems to be based on the volume of work, not the time needed to do the work. Thus the "stand at 43.1%" may only be a "long pause at 43.1% while work on something is done."
