[Bug 554172] Re: CUPS and other system services not starting at boot

[Andy]

Ok installed 10.04 Server AMD64  fresh on a brand new Dell 2950 dual
6-core AMD Opteron box with 16GB of ram.

Report:.
Sometimes on boot i get a hang right after this message.
"init: ureadahead-other main process terminated with status 4"

Sometimes the server will boot up fully to the console login but some services have not started
such as libvirtd. 

Sometimes when this happens  the runlevel command shows (unknown)
At other times it shows N 2

Not sure what is going on but this problem has put a halt on all 10.04
server deployments on this side.   We cannot deploy servers in this
state.  An OS with critical services that refuse to start at least 99%
of the time is fundamentally not ready for deployment in production.
Especially virtual machines and such.    I have seen this problem now on
many many machines workstations and servers. Some of which I have
reported on here.  usually the faster ones if that helps.   I hope this
gets done as we are a die hard Ubuntu shop and now are feeling pressured
to start evaluating Debian for our customers needs.   I hope Mark
Shuttleworth is aware of this issue because it is becoming very critical
out here in the trenches.
