Public bug reported: Binary package hint: upstart
I am running Ubuntu 9.10 up-to-date as of 2009-10-08 (upstart 0.6.3-7). I boot from a 32 GB SSD partitioned into /, swap and /home. I have a second 1TB drive mounted at /media/data, for which the fstab line is: UUID=2c2e8aba-4944-4c83-a4e5-a521fb749688 /media/data ext3 relatime,user_xattr 0 2 When this line is commented out, the system boots fine, and I can then uncomment it and "mount /media/data" works correctly. But when that line is present in fstab, the system usually, but not always (~50-75% of the time) fails to boot. After GRUB, it briefly shows a blinking cursor, then there is a little hard drive activity and some fsck text is shown briefly before being replaced by the blinking cursor (no disc activity), and at this point the system appears to hang. But ctrl-alt-del causes it to reboot after a few seconds. I don't really have any idea what's going wrong so please suggest how I could gather some more useful information! (BTW boot is fantastically quick when it does work!)
