I have tried booting my Pentium 3 server (see comment 151 and 157 above) with both a generic and generic-pae, and both have problems entering run level 2.
Closer inspection of the kernel messages shows that ureadahead, plymouthd and init were being killed during boot by the kernel's out-of- memory killer. I disabled ureadahead by deleting /etc/init/ureadahead.conf and /etc/init/ureadahead-other.conf, and the server has rebooted several times without problems. The problem of ureadahead being out-of-memory could be related to bug #590963: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ureadahead/+bug/590963 I suspect that the init process being killed by the oom-killer is why this server is not entering run level 2. -- CUPS and other system services not starting at boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/554172 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
