Well, this is very interesting. I instrumented mountall.conf and turned off boot splash+quiet and rebooted. The system came back within seconds. I've now backed out all the customizations and the system is booting beautifully. No hang, no waiting... message.
I'm going to try one more fresh install, but right now I'm going to have to agree that the bug is fixed. I don't know why it hung right after install+apt-get upgrade. Is it possible the disk didn't have its morning coffee yet? -- Waiting for /some/partition [SM] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/527666 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
