Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mountall

Ubuntu 9.10, which introduces the mountall utility, is unable to boot
under a Debian 2.6.26 Xen domU kernel.

When the boot process is edited to show us what mountall is doing, it
becomes stuck on "mounting /sys/kernel/debug".

Here is the full boot log:

Please fix this as soon as possible before more people who run Ubuntu
Server on Xen virtual machines shoot themselves in the foot.  This bug
is a critical issue.
