Scott,
I tried this as you suggested. This basically just undoes what I had to
do to fix the problem. So, when I undid things (added back the packages
I deleted and then deleted sysvinit), then it caused the system to
behave the same way. The --debug switch gave me no information
when /sbin/init runs and it hung the system again. So, I put the system
back the way it was (replacing upstart et. al., with sysvinit) and
rebooted so I can send you this message. I also checked the log files
in /var/log and nothing there from the --debug output either.
For your information, I also run a custom kernel at v2.6.18.1.
The .config for that kernel is attached.

Please reinstall ubuntu-minimal (and thus upstart, etc.) and boot your

adding --debug
(you can do this from the GRUB menu)
Take a photo of the screen at the point it hangs
** Changed in: upstart (Ubuntu)
Assignee: (unassigned) = Scott James Remnant
Status: Unconfirmed = Needs Info
** Summary changed:
- /sbin/init of upstart is different from /sbin/init of sysvinit and causes
hang on boot
+ upstart causes hang on boot
