I'm also experiencing this problem on a fresh 10.04 desktop
installation.
Quite often non of my installed services (dropbear ssh, tightvncserver
and sabnzbd) are started. This is very annoying to me because my Ubuntu
box is running headless.

Upstart not starting jobs on boot
A long way back in this thread it was reported that the below message would
appear in /var/log/messages when upstart had problems running
/etc/rc.sysinit. Is anyone still seeing this?

Thanks for the reports.
Could everybody who is affected by this bug confirm that when they have
missing services, runlevel *always* returns unknown and never N 2 --
if you see N 2 you may have a different problem, so please shout out

Same problem for me on fresh 10.04 install. For me the boot job that is
problematic is CUPSD. Sometime cups starts at bootime, sometimes it
doesn't. There's a cups specific boot job bug report here:

Upstart not starting
I've seen cups fail to start on my father's machine. I'm also noticing
issues with LCDd and yesterday lirc didn't start, so it's definitely
affecting several different boot scripts.

I'm having intermittent problems with some services not starting on
boot. From what I can tell, when it doesn't work, anything run as a
result of the upstart rc-sysinit job doesn't happen.
When the problem happens, I get the following symptoms:
runlevel 'unknown' (from running `runlevel`)
cron
Another data point. As mentioned above, I'm running mythtv. The backend
service for mythtv has the following in /etc/init/myth-backend.conf:
start on (local-filesystems and net-device-up IFACE=lo)
This service gets started even when none of the runlevel 2 services get
started.

This continues to happen on more than one of my karmic-lucid upgrades,
very consistently, so I can gather data if needed.
Teinit 2 doesn't help. That just runs the scripts in /etc/rc2.d but the

Me too. Upstart is not starting all processes. My box has been running

and then rebooting seems to have resolved the problem.

It look as though upstart couldn't figure out what the previous runlevel
was (or maybe it was trying to use 6?). My last log says the system
crashed, but I don't think it did, maybe upstart/reboot failed to write
to utmp properly?

Reopening this. I am seeing this problem, very consistently on a
Karmic-Lucid upgrade I did today. I will include the previously
requested information. Before I do however I want to note that I can
consistently have this machine hang on startup after filesystems are
mounted by simply booting
I've just installed Lucid and I have the feeling that my problem is
related to this bug. Sometimes, when Ubuntu starts I get this message:
dev/sda2: clean, 2312/231242 files, 213123/2311434 blocks (check in 4 mounts)

Thanks for the message!
I have the same spawn rc message in my logs.
I see that in /etc/init/rc.conf it mentions 'console output' which makes
upstart try to open the console.
That fails. Probably a race condition. Possibly /dev/console is not yet
available when upstart wants to start rc?
I see
I've encountered the same problem with Mythbuntu 10.04 with all updates

Boot scripts under /etc/rc2.d seem to be run sometimes and other times
not.
I found this problem as /etc/rc2.d/S99rc.local was not executed. To
verify I added a logger statement (logger Running rc.local) as the
first command in rc.local some weeks ago (I should have filed this bug
earlier but
(Un)fortunately (for the sake of hunting this bug down) this does not
seem to be occurring any more.
I guess we can just close this bug and I will reopen if I see it again.
