We are also seeing this on a Dell R210 with 4GB of RAM using the 2.6.32-24-generic-pae (32-bit) ubuntu 10.04 system. We are seeing oom in ureadahead. This prevents bootup approximately 75% of the time, but sometimes it does boot.
Although Bug 600359 has similar symptoms, that appears to be problems where low-end systems (256MB or less of RAM) run out of memory. Our system has 4GB of memory and therefore I wouldn't expect it to run out of memory. Perhaps this is a problem where ureadahead runs out of addressing space on 32-bit systems? We're going to disable ureadahead to workaround the issue. -- Boot hangs 3 times in 4, ureadahead out of memory https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/590963 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
