Public bug reported:
This problem appeared after upgrade to Edgy.
It happens randomly, and is reproduced on different machines (a desktop and a
Toshiba laptop).
The first boot (of the day? unclear) is interrupted by the message
'could not kill pid 1984'
there is also some message about 'readlink' and /proc/1984/exe.
Switching off and rebooting apparently solves the problem for sometime.
A search on Google confirms that something of this sort is happening, the pid
is not always 1984 however (but it is always 1984 on my laptop). However, it
seems that a bug has not yet been posted, neither a solution has been found.
The problem seems serious: truly, one has just to reboot another time; on the
other hand, something is going sistematically wrong with the boot process.
