After some discussion with Johan, via IRC, he suggested another strace round since plymouth may have affected things.
I modified /etc/init/sulogin.conf and changed its 'start' stanza to: eve:[~]% cat /etc/init/sulogin.conf start on starting mountall exec openvt -c 7 -w sulogin Unfortunately this did not work, init would report: "init: sulogin main process (335) terminated with status 7" (335 is, I believe, the process id) The intention was to have sulogin prevent mountall from running. And then perform an strace from start to finish. As that did not happen, I would see messages like: "mount: mounting none on /dev failed: No such device" I have attached a 'ps aufxww', an strace, an lsof and the mountall.log from one of the boot sequences. The same thing occurs under both a vanilla kernel and an Ubuntu one. -- upstart fails to start system into multiuser mode https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/506727 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
