Title:
  boot fails [...] ureadahead [...] terminated with status 5

Status in “ureadahead” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ureadahead

  I upgraded to 9.10 (from 9.04). Since then cannot boot up anymore, I
  always receive this message (more or less):

  init:  ureadahead main process (2958) terminated with status 5
  mountall: /proc: unable to mount: device or resource busy
  mountall: /proc/self/mountinfo: no such file or directory
  mountall: root file system is not mounted
  init: mountall main process (2959) terminated with status 1
  General error mounted file system

  I then fall into the maintenance shell.
  When I type "mount" I can see that proc is mounted on /proc.
  And the right partition is mounted on / (but read-only).
  (If I comment the proc line in /etc/fstab, nothing changes.)

  I WOULD LIKE TO FIX THAT WITHOUT REINSTALLING FROM SCRATCH.

  Thank you for your attention.
