I'm confused by your setup. Which init was in use then, systemd or
sysvinit? What changed compared to before?

Could you give more details about the fsck that gave no progress
indication, and how it differed from fsck previously? It was on the same
system, same disk and same root filesystem as before, wasn't it? Which
filesystem type was it? Did you use some graphical boot, was the boot
sequence simply less verbose than before?

Could this be some issue similar to #813176 affecting systemd-fsck?
