Rolf, forgive me for stepping on your toes. My intention is only to improve the quality of the bug reports associated with upstart, a key area of focus for my own work. Having a bug with a status of New that is assigned doesn't make much sense to me. The bug being assigned to one person means only they should be working on it, whereas many people can be working on confirming a New bug. I have to agree that the HowToTriage page isn't entirely clear on assignment, so my apologies for citing a source that does not support my actions, and further, my apologies for unassigning you without an appropriate cause. I will suggest that the status change and importance change are appropriate: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Status "Incomplete: If you have to ask the reporter questions, set the bug to Incomplete" My intention is to make it clear that this bug report is incomplete (its not clear how to reproduce it) and that the original reporter needs to respond before we can make a decision as to what is actually affected (my guess, mountall) and what the actual importance is. > Feel free to contact me by mail if you feel the need to discuss process, > but I'd rather not argue about this.

So again, I hope we can see eye to eye on this, and hopefully our original reporter can find the time to share more information. Otherwise, the bug will expire now, so we can move our focus on to reports by reporters who are still engaged in their bugs. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/588624 Title: upstart fails to boot without initrd -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
