To help people who are stuck, here's the operations I need to do at each boot : When in the grub chooser (hold shift while booting if it does not show up), edit the boot configuration : go the to line which says : linux /vmlinuz-2.6.38-5-generic root=/dev/<your-root-device> ro crashkernel=384M-2G:64M,2G-:128M quiet splash vt.handoff=7 add at the end : break=bottom and remove the splash option. It should read : linux /vmlinuz-2.6.38-5-generic root=/dev/<your-root-device> ro crashkernel=384M-2G:64M,2G-:128M quiet vt.handoff=7 break=bottom and then hit ctrl-x to boot. Once at the initramfs prompt do : chroot /root /bin/bash getty -8 -n -l /bin/bash 38440 tty8& getty -8 -n -l /bin/bash 38440 tty6& exit exit the upstart should be starting now. And you should have 2 shells available on console 6 and 8 (alt+f6, alt+f8). When the mountall get stucks, go to one of the console and do : initctl stop mountall The command you be stuck (if not you're lucky). Then hit <ctrl-z> to get back the shell prompt then: kill -9 %1 fg initctl start mountall
Do a loop of initctl stop mountall and start mountall until all of the fs are mounted and the upstart daemon resume it's boot.
