Running Debian Jessie on a desktop and did an upgrade Sunday night. Everything
continued working fine, although I don't think I rebooted at all. Last night
went to boot and I get a ton of "mountpoint: not found" messages during boot.
After boot the console login displays for a fraction of a second then the
screen goes black in place of displaying the LXDE login splash screen. There is
video output however, because the monitor does not go into sleep mode. I also
have no indication of keyboard or mouse input being received including no Caps
Lock or Num Lock light when pressed.
The computer is running normally as I can ssh in and work normally. Through
some searching I found a possible culprit is the display driver causing an
issue. I tried booting with "nomodeset" to no avail. I am able to get back to
the consoles by connecting via ssh and killing Xorg at which time I can switch
to a tty and login, otherwise I am not able to use them.
The following is a short list of the first messages shown during boot:
Loading, please wait...

I had to type these by hand from a quick video I took during boot as I couldn't
find anything in the logs, so let me know if you need more.
Interestingly I do see the following further along:
[ ok ] Starting enhanced syslogd: rsyslogd.
