The fact that I have been able to boot twice since yesterday's updates is tacit confirmation that something got either mitigated or fixed, and I believe it to have been a bit of a reorganization of the scripting ubuntu uses to help udev initialize things.
I noticed an initramfs-tools update just as I was going to test a udev-105 ubuntu .deb, so I applied that update, and have been able to boot since then. I'll continue to test things out and report on if my "me too" in this bug should be considered resolved. -- boot-time race condition initializing md https://launchpad.net/bugs/75681 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
