I have a similar experience to Geostar1024 (#25)

At the boot splash (white logo/black background) I get:

     One or more of the mounts listed in /etc/fstab cannot yet be mounted:
     /: waiting for /dev/disk/by-uuid/<uuid_of_my_partition_sda1>
     /tmp: waiting for (null)
    : waiting for
    Press ESC to enter recovery shell

ESC gives a root prompt and a mounted partition sda1 but mounted read-only.
If I change that with:

    mount -o remount,rw /dev/sda1

I can then type 'exit' and I finally get a gnome desktop as normal.

Each time I re-boot, though, I have to go through the same process.

I tried altering /boot/menu/menu.lst to remove 'splash' from the kernel
line (as suggested above) but it made no difference. (I had to do this
because ESC wasn't giving me a grub menu).

I think this is related to encryption, which I'd put on a .Private subdirectory 
in ~/. I experienced
problems and attempted to uninstall it; something may be left over. I don't get 
asked at boot for any passphrase.
