I'm failing to see where the "bug" in upstart is for this. telinit u sends SIGTERM to pid 1 blindly, which probably isn't the safest thing, but we can avoid doing that fairly easily.
So, since the way forward to allow upstart to re-execute itself without losing state is not clear, I think this one should probably be closed as Won't Fix.

I started experiencing this last week at around Dec 23/24th. Repeated with ISOs from Dec 24th to Dec 27th. I experienced it under both a bare-metal install and a libvirt install (under Natty), both under preseeded and manual installs. Installation proceeds nicely until we get to the point of installing the base system. Then, suddenly, I see a "rebooting" message flash on the screen, and system does indeed reboot. Since there is no kernel installed, at this point, the system hangs. I am marking this as critical -- no tests can be performed. I am unsure on how to collect data here, since the installer logs are lost. LAST ISO TESTED: 20101230. reboot happens on 'extracting libpcreg...' _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-testers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-testers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
