Got the same issue today (system hangs after /scripts/init-bottom) Thanks to poster before, I was able to fix the issue.
My steps: 1) change recovery mode command line in GRUB from "ro single" to "rw break=init" 2) chroot /root /bin/bash 3) dhclient (to get IP/network configuration) 4) apt-get update 5) apt-get install upstart initscripts sysv-rc sysvinit-utils initramfs-tools 6) reboot (system fails) 7) reboot again (system comes up this time) Also, have the maintainers/developers of critical system packages like upstart thought about, you know, testing? It's not that hard to set up a VM with qemu/KVM. One hour of your time could save hundreds of hours of your users' time and frustration.
