--- Begin Message ---Package: upstart Version: 1.6.1-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, * What led up to the situation? Installed upstart, replacing sysvinit, then rebooted * What was the outcome of this action? Boot hung after fsck of /root, /boot and /home * What outcome did you expect instead? Boot as far as a console login at least * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? Recovered by using init=/bin/bash on kernel cmdline, and manually ran sysv startup scripts, to the point where I could run apt-get again to restore sysvinit The boot process stopped after fsck, leaving no console access, and an essentially unusable system. By comparing the failed startup with the manual startup from /bin/bash, it appears that the upstart-driven startup is not enabling LVM early enough, so that mountall does not complete mounting the LVM-hosted partitions, and then nothing else happens. /etc/fstab: (with the noauto,user mounts removed) # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 UUID=f5ebf199-5396-4b0c-a3e5-f35833e99473 / ext3 errors=remount-ro 0 1 UUID=92f30fdb-364b-4978-8918-e820ba9c8570 /boot ext3 defaults 0 2 UUID=5d778b04-aef3-47ec-965d-b6ccbd6da7fa /home ext3 defaults 0 2 UUID=9791c6cc-84b6-4f47-a613-1ddb1af14a8c none swap sw 0 0 UUID=E4C010C1C0109BBC /mnt/windows/e ntfs user,exec,utf8 0 0 /dev/disk_group/usrlocal /usr/local ext3 defaults 0 2 /dev/disk_group/music /mnt/music ext3 user 0 2 So, something needs to either run the /etc/init.d/lvm2 script, or in some other way enable the LVM-managed volumes before mountall can complete. I don't really know what that should be - is it lvm2, udev (based on rules supplied by lvm2), mountall itself, or something else? Or is there something wrong/old with my config? I'm very happy to provide more information, as I'd very much like to try upstart. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.6.2 (SMP w/4 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages upstart depends on: ii ifupdown 0.7.43 ii initscripts 2.88dsf-41 ii libc6 2.17-3 ii libdbus-1-3 1.6.10-1 ii libjson0 0.10-1.2 ii libnih-dbus1 1.0.3-4.1+b1 ii libnih1 1.0.3-4.1+b1 ii libselinux1 2.1.13-2 ii libudev0 175-7.2 ii mountall 2.48 ii sysv-rc 2.88dsf-41 ii sysvinit-utils 2.88dsf-41 ii udev 175-7.2 upstart recommends no packages.
