When I do Ctrl+Alt+F1, the only thing I see is the startup messages and the last line which says "Blocking file system". F2-F6 won't work at all, just F1 and F7.
The same happens when I reboot and put 1 or 3 as an option in Grub menu. "Blocking file system" comes up after a while... It never goes as far as to giving me a console prompt.
Now there's a classic phrase for a Web search. Google gives many hits (using the quotations that make it search for a literal phrase, not just a document with all those words; add other keywords as necessary to refine or redirect the search on subsequent attempts). The bulk of the first page of Google hits mention VMware. Are you using that?
Is re-installation the only way to go?
Gack! This ain't Windows territory... But to be a bit more serious, this notion of reinstalling as a means of correcting errors is something we need to stamp out. If you don't understand what's happening and / or how / why it happened, then even if a reinstallation appears to solve the problem, how do you know you won't walk right back into it again?
