Public bug reported:
This is a bit of an odd environment, but I've recently noticed that boot
will occasionally hang just after "Checking battery state...". I don't
know for sure it's /etc/acpi/power.sh that's hanging, but that seems
like the most likely culprit.
This is an up-to-date 12.10 guest running in VMware Fusion 5.0.1
(825449) on OS X 10.6.8. I've disabled the splash screen so I can watch
the boot process. ctrl-C (and other keystrokes) seems to be echoed back
to the console, but has no effect.
When I send ctrl-alt-delete (via the VMware "Virtual Machine" menu
item), I see "acpid exiting" and the machine shuts down and reboots. It
usually successfully reboots after this, but not always.
I suppose not surprisingly, this seems related to power status pass-
through. If you go to VMware's settings->Other->Advanced and turn off
"Pass power status to VM" then it seems like boot never hangs. Note
though that I have had this setting enabled for ages, and enabling
doesn't guarantee that the boot will hang. But it never seems to hang
with the setting disabled.
