Are you sure you are accessing recovery mode(single user) correctly? On a boot/reboot, you have to press escape before grub starts and select the recovery mode kernel entry from the list of available kernels to boot. It's the second entry for each installed kernel. let the system boot in recovery mode and you should eventually see a gui listing of 4 entries, the last of which is xfix. Select the xfix entry and continue booting.
I'm not totally sure if Jaunty has xfix in recovery mode as I haven't used it but can't think of a reason why it would not be.
Let the list know if you followed the above general sequence or not.
