This is becoming a bit scary. I have continued experimenting with the HP
DL380 machines I have here and even now even the even with the kernel
image 2.6.32-21-server makes the machine hang.

I can still SSH into it and look at the process list, see attachment.
Does anything in there look suspicious? I notice that

/sbin/plymouthd --mode=boot --attach-to-session

is running, which does not run when the machine has booted completely.
We also don't run VirtualBox but the basic Libvirt/KVM setup to host
virtual machines. All machines have LVM configured and have their root
and swap partitions as logical volumes.

Some more background info: the machines are HP ProLiant DL380 G6
(apparently the most popular ProLiant machines by HP ever). All three
have Smart Array P410 RAID controllers running RAID1 on two disks. The
drivers for the controller are in the kernel, no need for any manual
compilation. Obviously there is no need for mdadm in this case. That
said, I don't think this bug has anything to do with RAID setups.

What else can we provide? I am afraid that if this problem isn't solved
soon we have to revert back to Ubuntu 9.10, which I would really like to
avoid. The improvements made in AppArmor and Libvirt in 10.04 are very
important for us, plus we would like to take advantage of the LTS.

I still have about a week to play with these machines, after that we
need to get them production ready. I hope this bug gets the attention it
needs. Please do tell if we can provide any more information.
