[Bug 588799] [NEW] linux-server causes boot hang

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Hardware is a Dell R210 with a USB-attached disk and an LSI RAID-1 card.
We used the 64bit minimal install cd to get started and we are presented
with /dev/sda being the USB disk and /dev/sdb being the Dell Virtual
Disk (RAID).

All works fine booting linux-generic. Install linux-server and reboot.

During boot the screen clears and we're presented with
fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2
/dev/sdb1 : clean, xxxx/yyyyyy files, xxxx/yyyyy blocks

And nothing more. We have to send Ctrl+Alt+Del which shuts things down,
then select the linux-generic image to get past this problem.

The final thing we see prior to the the above message is something about
init-bottom or something similar.

Am going to attach a dmesg from the generic kernel boot. No such dmesg
appears using the -server kernel boot (we checked timestamps of the
files in /var/log/).
