Next I eliminated userspace from the problem. I commented out the "start on startup" line from /etc/event.d/rcS and instead added the attached "sysinit" job.
This performs the absolute minimum necessary to get udev running, and sets off the trigger. I still had the hang, so it's not a race with anything like dbus, HAL, NM, X, etc. ** Attachment added: "Upstart sysinit job" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18641835/sysinit -- [regression] 2.6.27-7 sometimes fails to boot (iwl3945 issue?) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263059 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
