The problem might be related to the root filesystem being mounted ro (although Jonathan is making dpkg remount the FS rw (see http://wiki.debian.org/ReadonlyRoot#Make_apt-get_remount_.2F_if_needed). That said, problem is not now reproducible even with same kernel + package upgrade scenario.
Problem may actually be a kernel issue (nuls in syslog look suspicious) although difficult to say at this stage due to lack of meaningful log info. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1154040 Title: Upgrading to 1.7 on raring caused system to crash To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/1154040/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
