Title:
  ubuntu hangs during upstart boot, ie no sysinit is executed

Status in “plymouth” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  the system hangs, just network and ssh is enabled.
  fuser /dev/tty7 reports that plymouth is active on that tty.
  As soon I kill the plymouth process system continuous to boot the other services like atd.
  Bug Report is extracted of maschine after killing plymouth process.
  I had also no problem with maschine if plymouth is removed. but mountall does depend on plymouth, which is not true, so removal with force dependency was done.

  No X Server is installed, machine is just used as server.
