 You do not have to sorry.

 I didn't know that. I thought it was the fstab, when the kernel would
like to remount the partition read-write. Can I ask then where it
stopped booting? Right after grub, or the kernel loaded, but hung, or
later in the boot process? What was the last line displayed on your
screen (if you still remember)?

 Yup, but uses a different boot method. Maybe that's why that worked,
or it is really a grub issue. I have no idea at the moment.

> I think I can not replicate the bug again.
 Well, if you say it was not /etc/fstab , and thus you could not figure
out what was causing this, then I promise I will try to reproduce it
anyway.

> Thank you very much for your attention and sorry for my bad english.
 Thank you for the bug report. Your english is correct, I can fully
understand you, no problem.
