If the runlevel is not set at boot, the issue you're seeing is unrelated to this bug. The rc-sysinit job is failing to trigger, either because you have filesystems configured in /etc/fstab that are not being found and mounted at boot time, or because you don't have a properly configured loopback interface in /etc/network/interfaces. > It doesn't seem likely that all of these major, common packages have bugs > with identical symptoms - it's got to be a problem with upstart - so > reporting bugs on the packages is probably a waste of time. Yes, in that case the appropriate thing to do would be to file a *single* bug against upstart describing the problem. In any case, following up to this bug, which has been fixed, is not the correct approach. > This is a really major problem as it can (and does for us) render servers > non-functional and insecure by default - why is it marked as 'wontfix' and > downgraded from critical with no obvious pointer to a better bug? What is marked as 'wontfix' for the lucid and maverick releases is the kernel issue that led to this problem. The user-facing issue has been addressed. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
