My system is also failing to boot. With 0.2.0~boot1 I had lots of
messages about various non disk filesystems (proc, sys ...) being read
only. I had a root prompt and was able to remount the root file system
as rw, at which point booting continued.

I then upgraded the mountall package to 0.2.0~boot4, did the test at the
command line and did a reboot. This reboot, I get a couple of messages
and then nothing. The cursor is flashing, and the disk activity light is
working, but despite waiting for a while nothing else happens. There is
no prompt I can access.

If I do Ctrl-Alt-F2 the screen clears and I just get a flashing prompt,
which Ctrl-Alt-F1 brings back the few messages I have:

ket slot 0 unlocked.
Command successful.
File descriptor 3 left open
   3 logical volumes in volume group whisper

I have an encrypted root filesystem (installed from the alternate disk
under jaunty and upgraded to karmic a month ago - working fine all that
time).

Actually, having just typed all that, the boot has now continued, having
been stuck for about 10 minutes ...

I will post the mountall log data from that computer now it is booting.
