Did you do anything that could have broken it or just did a fresh install?

Well, you can always boot directly into a bash shell and do funky stuff to fix things
Append this to the kernel line in grub
init=/bin/bash

Now boot directly into a shell and remount your partitions rw
mount -o remount /

How you actually fix your box now depends on your exact issue, but this shows how easy it is to boot so you can do minor repairs. Do this when you shutdown

sync
mount -o remount,ro /

To ensure the disks are ok
