I don't have access to that machine now, but this from a syslog kept while
debugging.  You can see the "Linux version" and later the "init=/sbin/init 
--verbose"

Since we are looking at old syslogs, notice the "Failed to spawn rc-sysinit" 
line of this snippet ...

This is one of the things that leads me to believe that we are dealing with an 
upstart bug.
Failure to open the console does not sound to me like a good reason to kill a  
/etc/init/*.conf  script .
