[Bug 567005] Re: Lucid won't boot

[dhlii]

I do not beleive the "fix" was concurrent with an update.
I am pretty good at having a sense of what I am changing that could 
break or fix something - as I do Linux kernel work with embedded systems.

I was booting off another ubuntu install on another partition.
I would mount and chroot into the busted lucid install and try a variety 
of things to try and isolate the problem and fix it.
As part of that process I did a lucid update at every opportunity. But I 
tried to keep test these as I did them and none resulted in a booting 
system.
At the same time I was trying to add debugging into the new /etc/init 
scripts.

In the midst of adding the debugging to atleast find where it was 
hanging up , and it suddenly started working.
It is highly unlikely that adding debugging fixed this - though I have 
had bugs that would not appear while you were trying to trace them.
