I tried older kernels, they used to hang on fsck. Then I figured out 
why, I had other drives in fstab from the toasted PC. I commented out 
these entries and I don't get fsck error anymore. Now my screen goes 
blank, i.e., no output and stays like that. After about 1/2 hour I gave 
up and rebooted.

I tried rebuilding initrd, but I still get the initramfs prompt when I boot.

Cheers,
