Also, with init='/sbin/init --verbose' boots are not 100% reliable. Some times they still fail. I have set the number of active CPUs to 3 (was 4) in the BIOS, in desperate hope that this will make things more reliable. -- upstart (/sbin/init) fails to start many /etc/init and /etc/rc2.d fil

I spoke too soon. The init='/sbin/init --verbose' trick worked, until I accepted an update that was a new version of the mountall package. Now I have the old behavior even with --verbose . Sigh. I don't _know_ that mountall caused the problem. I was working on other stuff and only discove

I am unable to provide the failure evidence, beyond the observations of things like "ps axf does not show any getty processes", because upstart was not putting any messages to the console nor into log files. I don't see any logging mechanism in /etc/init, probably because it expects things that f
