[Bug 936667] Re: Upstart early job logging causes boot failure for systems with no initramfs (error is "No available ptys")

[Muhammad Saqib Ilyas]

Hi 
I was running a Ubuntu 12.04 x86 server until this evening. It is running kernel 3.2.0-32-generic-pae. When I went to see the PPA ppa:jamesodhunt/upstart-job-logging mentioned above, I issued the add-apt-repository command only to realize that since the system hasn't booted, it is offline and has no Internet access. 
Is there another way to fix the issue? Student work (185 students) is suffering due to this downtime and hence an early response would be very highly appreciated by everyone down here.
Thanks and best regards
Saqib

Bug description:
  When booting 12.04 after a recent update, I see "init(4): no available

  as a kernel option and I'm able to boot just fine.
