Well, I went out to do an errand and left the machine in its half-booted
state, and when I came back Gnome was up.
I am guessing the boot process paused to allow fsck to run one of its
periodic checks. I am going to disable that useless progress bar.
As an aside: I have four 1 TB drives in this system, and I dread seeing the
"this drive has been booted 28 times without a check" warning when I reboot.
In my experience, fsck takes around 35 minutes to check a 1 TB drive. :(((
Thanks, Tim, for the quick response and sorry to everyone about the false
alarm.
