I had same issue trying to boot with custom kernel (3.1.6) on Ubuntu 11.04 Booting froze and after editing grub for non-silent, I could see the following:
init: plymouth main process (940) killed by SEGV signal init: plymouth-splash main process (940) terminated with status 2 Though the final logs that we see on screen is about plymouth, the actual problem is with udev, and logs just scroll away: udevd[1003]: failed to create queue file: No such file or directory But fortunately I found a very simple solution: "The real problem is that a new version of udevd requires an entry for /dev in /etc/fstab, as suggested here. I added at the end of /etc/fstab the following line: dev /dev tmpfs rw 0 0" Everything works fine with this change.
