I been debugging one of my systems that was having the same problem on a system I rebooted after it was upgraded to upstart 0.6.3-11. It was looking to be a problem with mountall. When I would initctl emit filesystem, it would just hang. Not sure if this is the same issue now as it turns out that I moved /etc/network/if-up.d/upstart to a different directory for test a while ago and forgot to move it back. When I restored the file, the system boots properly again.
Before I found that file, I modified /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf and removed the net-device-up check for startup, and just left the 'start on filesystem'. With that change, the runlevel still wasn't triggered and that is why I thought it was mountall. -- Startup fails somewhere around "filesystem" or HAL being started https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/474907 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
