Sigh, this still happens after all.  It just doesn't seem to always
happen right away after an update. Sometimes it needs a few reboots, but
once it happens I can't seem to clear it up without reinstalling Alpha 2
(also appear to need to wipe at least my root partition). I've lost
count of how many reinstalls I've had to do, but it's over 5.  After my
first re-install of 10.4 Alpha 2, it's been /var that's been hanging,
not /tmp. I just get the ubuntu logo and "Waiting for /var [SM]"
underneath. Before that logo I see an error about uvcvideo, followed by
the results of e2fscks for root, /boot. /home, /tmp, but not /var. I'm
also seeing the ureadahead errors indicated in bug #484677 but those go
away after applying the "start on local-filesystems" change indicated in
bug #432360. None of those changes appear to fix the issue with the wait
for /var. If I boot from the Alpha 2 Alternative CD (running RAID and
LVM) and use the rescue mode, I can run fsck on /var with no problems.

That said, if the init startup order did change, as is implied in
484677, then could it be that there is now something starting up earlier
which is placing a lock on /var and preventing the fsck from running
somehow? What is running those fscks anyways? It doesn't look like
mountall should be doing it by default but something is. I no longer
think this is hal -related since it seems to happen before hald ever
starts, but I'm not sure what it is related to. init scripts? Can
anybody help me out to figure out what's breaking here?
