Ditto here, running up-to-date Feisty on amd64. I use "break=mount" and hit ctrl-d almost immediately after the output stops, and everything works fine. If I don't do that, 7 times out of 10 my machine will hang for a few minutes and then drop to the (initramfs) prompt, complaining that my /dev/mapper/main-root LVM root isn't found. It's on a software RAID1, /dev/md1, and it comes up degraded in these cases, even if I shut the machine down cleanly before the reboot. Here's my /proc/mdstat: Personalities : [raid1] md1 : active raid1 sda2[0] sdb2[1] 312472192 blocks [2/2] [UU] md0 : active raid1 sda1[0] sdb1[1] 96256 blocks [2/2] [UU] unused devices: <none> /dev/md0 is my /boot, a software RAID1 running ext3fs. d -- boot-time race condition initializing md https://launchpad.net/bugs/75681 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
