I do not beleive the "fix" was concurrent with an update. I am pretty good at having a sense of what I am changing that could break or fix something - as I do Linux kernel work with embedded systems.
I was booting off another ubuntu install on another partition. I would mount and chroot into the busted lucid install and try a variety of things to try and isolate the problem and fix it. As part of that process I did a lucid update at every opportunity. But I tried to keep test these as I did them and none resulted in a booting system. At the same time I was trying to add debugging into the new /etc/init scripts. In the midst of adding the debugging to atleast find where it was hanging up , and it suddenly started working. It is highly unlikely that adding debugging fixed this - though I have had bugs that would not appear while you were trying to trace them.
