[Bug 811385] Re: reboot hangs at Plymouth logo after upgrading base-files and initscripts

[dj_palindrome]

My report appears to be invalid. My Plymouth hadn't been updated to take
the /run transition into account, even if initramfs had been. At least
that's the conclusion I draw. After reverting to a stable baseline,
updating Plymouth, then updating base-files and initscripts, everything
worked, even after a cold boot.

My apologies. Even if the updates really did make their appearance at
the same time, it became increasingly difficult to keep track of which
package triggered any given consequence.

Title:
  reboot hangs at Plymouth logo after upgrading base-files and
  initscripts

Status in “sysvinit” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Please excuse me if I am reporting against the wrong package, or even
  if this report is invalid altogether, but I was told in no uncertain
  terms that "today's" update of initramfs-tools resolved this issue. It
  does not. I survived the botched, uncoordinated migration to /run, and
  tried to avoid upgrading all packages at once. I had the current
  versions of udev and initramfs under my belt before attempting the
  following:

  initscripts: 2.88dsf-13.10ubuntu4
  base-files: 6.4ubuntu2

  A warm reboot of the (virtual) machine seems OK, but a cold restart
  hangs at the Plymouth logo. Eventually, Plymouth stops spinning and
  the login screen never appears. Recovery mode of the same kernel
  version (3.0.0-5-virtual) still works.
