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.

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.
