I have the same issue. It is related to LDAP. I run an ldap server and have configured the system to use LDAP. If you disable ldap in the nsswitch.conf the laptop boot fine. If it is enabled the klogd startup srcipt seems to pause for a long time. My guess is when the script changes the ownership of the klogd fifo/socket it sits and waits for an ldap response. I am not sure why the ldap is taking so long as I think the network is up at the time but I am not sure. This has only showed since the upgrade, feisty worked fine.
I am attching a copy of the nsswitch.conf and my ldap.conf (sanitized).. ** Attachment added: "nsswitch_ldap.conf" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/9964082/nsswitch_ldap.conf -- After upgrading my server to Gutsy booting hangs at "Starting kernel log daemon" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/150006 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
