Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: upstart

Description:    Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Release:        10.04

After upgrade from Karmic to Lucid on an nfsroot install, reboot failed.
The initramfs loaded properly, but after switching to init, the screen switched 
to the framebuffer and hung with a message about portmap exit status 1

I then switched the boot to use init=/bin/bash
I see that the root filesystem is mounted correctly, read-only
I run exec /sbin/init
and get hung with a message about plymouth-splash exiting status 2

if I manually remount the filesystem rw, I can then exec /sbin/init and
the system starts properly

In the end, I added 'rw' to the boot parameters such that root is mounted rw by 
initramfs (and removed he init= parameter), then boot works properly.
As it worked fine in Karmic without this, it seems like something in init is 
preventing the filesystem from remounting read-write

My fstab file:
proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
/dev/nfs        /               nfs     rw,nolock          0       0
none            /tmp            tmpfs   defaults        0       0
none            /var/run        tmpfs   defaults        0       0
none            /var/lock       tmpfs   defaults        0       0
none            /var/tmp        tmpfs   defaults        0       0
