When you reboot please append the following:

  rw rd.convertfs rd.break=pre-pivot

and make sure your remove the following

  splash silent


As noted earlier, this will drop you to two debug shells. Type &quot;exit&quot; at
the first one and then you should see the conversion taking place,
including any errors relating to rolling back the change and why.

that should give you some clues.

Cheers
