Title:
  Upstart 1.4 causes boot lockup with custom kernel

Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I just upgraded to Upstart 1.4 on my Precise x64 system with a custom
  kernel (which lacks initramfs and a few other fs-related things that
  come in the stock kernel.)  After the upgrade, my system fails to
  boot.  The kernel starts, but Upstart never seems to start.  The
  system just sits there flashing the cursor on a blank screen until I
  reset the computer.  The stock kernel still works fine.  Reverting
  back to 1.3 causes the problem to go away.  I have attached my kernel
  configuration.  I can also attach other info about my system, but I
  don't think the logs will be useful because it doesn't boot far enough
  to where it can actually write logs to the disk.
