[Bug 576001] Re: kernel 2.6.32-32 makes machine hang during boot

This bug is not a duplicate of #571444. At least not in the
characteristic that I and others who reported here have experienced it.
My /etc/fstab was always in the pristine state that is the result of a
fresh installation so there were no filesystems for which automounting
could have failed.

Additionally, as reported in #571444, pressing 'S' or 'M' when the
system appeared to hang continued and finished the boot sequence
correctly. Not so in the case of this bug, where nothing but Ctrl-Alt-
Delete would have any effect on the hung system.

So this is definitely not a duplicate of #571444. The good news is that
the problem was apparently isolated to the linux-image-2.6.32-22-server
package, i.e. the server kernel image in version 2.6.32-22. We are now
at 2.6.32-24 and I have several Ubuntu Server 10.04.1 machines in
production, all working fine, even with regularly performed reboots. The
same machines would have the problem described at length by us in this
bug report.

Thomas, do you still experience any hangs during boot with a current
-server image package?
