Jens Schødt, this bug is in the kernel console device not being writeable early enough in the boot. I appears to be in upstart because that is the first thing that tries to write to it. A work around has been available of the problem for several months, which seems to have fixed the boot for those people who reported to this bug.
So if you have a fully updated machine and still see problems like 'runlevel' reporting 'N' then I recommend you put the details of your problem in a new bug report and place a link to this bug report as a possible duplicate (but don't mark as confirmed duplicate). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/554172 Title: system services using "console output" not starting at boot -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
