[Bug 936293] Re: upstart 1.4-0ubuntu7 causes systems with custom kernel not to boot

[James Hunt]

Is it possible your kernels are configured without ptys? Current Ubuntu
kernels specify the following pty options:

CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS=y
CONFIG_LEGACY_PTYS=y
CONFIG_LEGACY_PTY_COUNT=0

Title:
  upstart 1.4-0ubuntu7 causes systems with custom kernel not to boot

Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Upstart 1.4-0ubuntu7 has caused two of my systems with custom kernels
  to fail to boot again.  This appears to have to do with boot logging,
  which caused the same problem in a previous release and was re-enabled
  for 1.4-0ubuntu7.  When attempting to boot the custom kernel, the
  system just sits there flashing the cursor instead of doing anything
  useful.  Reverting to 1.4-0ubuntu6 works around the problem.
