A long way back in this thread it was reported that the below message would appear in /var/log/messages when upstart had problems running /etc/rc.sysinit.

A number of jobs are started but all of the jobs that should be started never gets complete. I end up (though having a job that starts a shell on a tty) having to manually: # service ssh start # service rc-sysinit start (at least) to get the system up into a semblance of a multi-user run-level. I'd be happy to provide more information but I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to debug this situation. FWIW, my debug shell job which gives me a shell that I can debug upstart from is: description Start a debug shell start on startup expect fork script exec /root/open -c 12 /bin/bash end script I have no doubt it's probably not 100% correct as I'm really only just cribbing it up from what I can see in other jobs.

I'm having intermittent problems with some services not starting on boot. From what I can tell, when it doesn't work, anything run as a result of the upstart rc-sysinit job doesn't happen. When the problem happens, I get the following symptoms: runlevel 'unknown' (from running `runlevel`) cron not started apache2 not started When the problem hasn't happened, these services do start and runlevel is 'N 2'. The last time this happened was after a kernel update (maybe this makes a race condition happen?). Restarting fixed the problem.

[Bug 543506] Re: Upstart not starting jobs on boot
Reopening this. I am seeing this problem, very consistently on a Karmic-Lucid upgrade I did today. I will include the previously requested information. Before I do however I want to note that I can consistently have this machine hang on startup after filesystems are mounted by simply booting the default kernel arguments. However! I can consistently get this machine to boot to full multi- users/desktop by simply adding init=/bin/bash to the kernel command line and then when the kernel boots and starts bash, simply exec(1)ing /sbin/init as such: # exec /sbin/init [ upstart starts and boots up normally ] So to further clarify, something about starting the kernel and having it start bash as it's init and then starting upstart from that bash, makes it all boot just fine.

[Bug 543506] Re: Upstart not starting jobs on boot
I've just installed Lucid and I have the feeling that my problem is related to this bug. Sometimes, when Ubuntu starts I get this message: dev/sda2: clean, 2312/231242 files, 213123/2311434 blocks (check in 4 mounts) init: Failed to spawn rc-sysinit main process: unable to open console: Input/output error The only way to fix it is by disabling Plymouth removing the options quiet splash from the starting params. For the record: I've installed Lucid from the Minimal CD Image and I'm using Slim as the login manager.

Re: [Bug 543506] Re: Upstart not starting jobs on boot
Thanks for the message! I have the same spawn rc message in my logs. I see that in /etc/init/rc.conf it mentions 'console output' which makes upstart try to open the console. That fails. Probably a race condition. Possibly /dev/console is not yet available when upstart wants to start rc? I see you have a ticket open for this so no need for me to add anything (a relief seeing how hostile Ubuntu appears to be to bug reporting).

A number of jobs are started but all of the jobs that should be started never gets complete. I end up (though having a job that starts a shell on a tty) having to manually: # service ssh start # service rc-sysinit start (at least) to get the system up into a semblance of a multi-user run-level. I'd be happy to provide more information but I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to debug this situation. FWIW, my debug shell job which gives me a shell that I can debug upstart from is: description Start a debug shell start on startup expect fork script exec /root/open -c 12 /bin/bash end script I have no doubt it's probably not 100% correct as I'm really only just cribbing it up from what I can see in other jobs. Hopefully I have not exacerbated the problem with that job.

[Bug 543506] Re: Upstart not starting jobs on boot
Boot scripts under /etc/rc2.d seem to be run sometimes and other times not. I found this problem as /etc/rc2.d/S99rc.local was not executed. To verify I added a logger statement (logger Running rc.local) as the first command in rc.local some weeks ago (I should have filed this bug earlier but applications like apport and launchpad make this a very frustrating experience). Checking /var/log/syslog I find the log entry from rc.local for some boots but not for others. It is not only rc.local that is not executed. The /etc/rc2.d /S20virtualbox-ose script is also not always run. This becomes blatantly obvious as VirtualBox can't run VMs in those cases and I have to run the virtualbox-ose script manually. These cases seem to coincide (so both virtualbox-ose and rc.local are either both run or both not run). This morning rc.local and virtualbox-ose were not run. I ran virtualbox-ose manually later.
