ubuntu - Is this possible to bring back a live cd session after an accidental CD-ROM unplugging for a while?

    There was a power outage when I was using a live cd on my laptop with external CD - ROM connected to wall power supply, so cd was unaccessible and maybe unmounted for a second. Then the power came back and the OS seems to be alive but the X desktop is just a background image and TTYs are avaible (I can disply all of them) and I can type but can't execute anything - I can only see errors like: SQUASHFS error: unable to read and INFO: task XXX blocked for more than 120 seconds.

    Is there any way or chance to get access to virtual filesystem or just unblock it yet without rebooting? My live cd is Ubuntu 10.04.

    Not likely. I have tried before and didn't have any success.
