Bug Description

Binary package hint: plymouth

On my system (running Ubuntu 10.04.1), boot logging seems to stop after quotas are enabled. I don't see most of the boot process, including these:
 * Avahi
 * Bind
 * Cherokee
 * Cron
 * Cupsys
 * isatapd
 * Memcached
 * Mysqld
 * Postfix
 * Samba
 * Snmpd

I tried enabling bootlogd (package sysvinit-utils/initscripts), but that has never worked for me (this is correct according to the manual page).

Udev is complaining, but I had already removed the file it complains about.

The release notes says "On all systems the boot output can also be found in /var/log/boot.log.", and I've enabled the server task just in case. Of course, Alt+F7 doesn't work on a desktop since X.org is using it.
