Bug Description
Upstart 1.4-0ubuntu7 has caused two of my systems with custom kernels to fail to boot again. This appears to have to do with boot logging, which caused the same problem in a previous release and was re-enabled for 1.4-0ubuntu7. When attempting to boot the custom kernel, the system just sits there flashing the cursor instead of doing anything useful. Reverting to 1.4-0ubuntu6 works around the problem.

Is it possible your kernels are configured without ptys? Current Ubuntu kernels specify the following pty options:
CONFIG_ UNIX98_ PTYS=y LEGACY_ PTYS=y LEGACY_ PTY_COUNT= 0
