Ok, I'm marking the bug in ifupdown as invalid because there isn't anything to fix in ifupdown.
As for boot logging issues with upstart, it's a known issue and upstart 1.4 that will ship in 12.04 has a feature called "job logging" that will populate /var/log/boot.log and /var/log/upstart/<job>.log with whatever output the upstart job gave. ** Changed in: ifupdown (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/885909 Title: Boot process hangs in Ubuntu 11.10 server after upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifupdown/+bug/885909/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
