I can confirm that the same thing happened to me. After before 1-2 hours i did a dist-upgrade and system wont boot after reboot. The system hangs after /scripts/init-bottom.
In my case i manage to login to the system by editing through grub and putting rw instead of ro and init=/bin/bash When i tried an apt-get upgrade the package initscripts has been kept back. if i force install it the system ask me to remove almost all packages (gdm, ubuntu desktop, etc) The worst is that i can get to connect to the net so i have no idea how am i going to fix that system failure. -- karmic boot hung after /scripts/init-bottom https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/430272 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
