Reopening this. I am seeing this problem, very consistently on a Karmic->Lucid upgrade I did today. I will include the previously requested information. Before I do however I want to note that I can consistently have this machine hang on startup after filesystems are mounted by simply booting the default kernel arguments.
However! I can consistently get this machine to boot to full multi- users/desktop by simply adding "init=/bin/bash" to the kernel command line and then when the kernel boots and starts bash, simply exec(1)ing /sbin/init as such: # exec /sbin/init [ upstart starts and boots up normally ] So to further clarify, something about starting the kernel and having it start bash as it's init and then starting upstart from that bash, makes it all boot just fine. Here's "initctl list" when the boot has mounted filesystems but hung there: alsa-mixer-save stop/waiting avahi-daemon stop/waiting mountall-net stop/waiting qemu-kvm stop/waiting rc stop/waiting rpc_pipefs start/running tty4 stop/waiting udev start/running, process 639 upstart-udev-bridge start/running, process 621 ureadahead-other stop/waiting apport stop/waiting console-setup stop/waiting hwclock-save stop/waiting irqbalance stop/waiting plymouth-log stop/waiting tty5 stop/waiting debug_shell start/running, process 589 statd start/running, process 1583 atd stop/waiting dbus stop/waiting failsafe-x stop/waiting plymouth start/running, process 590 portmap start/running, process 1429 ssh stop/waiting autofs stop/waiting control-alt-delete stop/waiting hwclock stop/waiting network-manager stop/waiting usplash stop/waiting module-init-tools stop/waiting bridge-network-interface (lo) start/running bridge-network-interface (eth0) start/running cron stop/waiting gdm stop/waiting mountall start/running, process 594 acpid stop/waiting plymouth-stop stop/waiting rcS stop/waiting ufw start/running mounted-varrun stop/waiting rc-sysinit stop/waiting anacron stop/waiting tty2 stop/waiting udevtrigger stop/waiting mounted-dev stop/waiting tty3 stop/waiting udev-finish stop/waiting hostname stop/waiting mountall-reboot stop/waiting mythtv-backend stop/waiting gssd start/running, process 1579 mountall-shell stop/waiting mounted-tmp stop/waiting network-interface (lo) start/running network-interface (eth0) start/running plymouth-splash stop/waiting tty1 stop/waiting udevmonitor stop/waiting network-interface-security start/running networking stop/waiting procps stop/waiting tty6 stop/waiting bootchart start/running, process 87 idmapd stop/waiting ureadahead stop/waiting Here's the boot output with "--verbose" on the kernel command line: Begin: Running /scripts/local-bottom ...
