My system was configured to use tmpfs for /var/log, /var/log/apt and /var/tmp before upgrading to karmic. On the first boot after the upgrade the message "waiting for tmpfs" was reported for /var/log/apt. Disabling the entries for /var/log/apt and /var/tmp allowed for an uninterrupted boot. Still /var/log was mounted as tmpfs! Today I changed /etc/fstab to also mount /var/tmp as tmpfs, which also works.
This is the current /etc/fstab I use: # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 # /dev/sda1 UUID=f1698a06-f89d-4438-a887-a4205ae1f8bf / ext2 noatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1 # /dev/sda5 UUID=efc9ca27-b198-4827-a223-68248ad3d7bb none swap sw 0 0 #tmpfs /var/log/apt tmpfs defaults 0 0 tmpfs /var/log tmpfs defaults 0 0 tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0 tmpfs /var/tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0 mountall-Version is 1.0 The only difference I see to the original bug description are the missing options. In a second try, I inactivated the /var/tmp mount and added options to the /var/log mount: tmpfs /var/log tmpfs defaults,noatime,size=50%,mode=1777 0 0 Still the system boots uninterrupted and /var/log is mounted as tmpfs (as shown by mount). Conclusion: I can't reproduce the bug given the original description.
