[Bug 936667] Re: Upstart early job logging causes boot failure for systems with no initramfs (error is "No available ptys")

[bob lourie]

This bug or similar affects me. Installed from ubuntu-12.04-beta1
-desktop-amd64.iso downloaded 3/3/2012.

Adding --no-log to grub :  startup logs on screen to about point that "
init: no available ptys " message looped and then hangs ( I presume the
" no log" is effective, but not producing progress in startup.)

The /boot/grub/ directory has only a blacklist file, otherwise empty. Is
this because it has not yet been set up for initrm?

Title:
  Upstart early job logging causes boot failure for systems with no
  initramfs (error is "No available ptys")

Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When booting 12.04 after a recent update, I see "init(4): no available
  ptys" being displayed faster than a machine gun. When I add --no-log
  as a kernel option and I'm able to boot just fine.
