Public bug reported: Binary package hint: upstart
I have an Ubuntu 10.04 KVM virtual machine set to launch automatically at boot (using option: "autostart"). When my host computer boots up, the virtual machine launch fails. It freezes at boot, with this error message (right after the root disk fsck): init: Failed to spawn rc-sysinit main process: Unable to open console: Input/output error. (That is the message on the autostarted virtual machine. The host computer works fine.) The problem is intermittent. It has happened once in the last 5 reboots. I believe this bug may be related to bug #543506, because users are seeing that same error text in their system logs. But in this case, the virtual machine won't boot up at all. Another user reported this bug on real, physical hardware (not a virtual machine): http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1495569 Thus, I do not think the problem has anything to do with virtualization, or with hardware. My virtual machine is a JeOS install with a LAMP stack. There is no GUI desktop, just a text-mode login console shell. The video card is an emulated cirrus card. This issue might be the same issue in Question #109171: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/109171 (I don't read Spanish, but that thread references using a "quiet splash" option that was also listed in bug #543506. I don't know what to do with that option, or if that is a confirmed workaround.)
