debug causes system not working properly

[Enrico204]

when I de-comment debug=echo in /etc/init.d/rc the system does not work properly. Networking don't working, mount utility doesn't mount correctly FS (all FS are mounted in read-only).
Comment that line will resolve the problem, but I cannot debug.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

Now I don't have the last release, but in the last LTS (8.04) there is the same problem. A splash screen appear after grub, but the loading bar is always to 99%. After a few seconds, splash disappear and I can see many "/etc/init.d/... start" lines (for example, "/etc/init.d/cupsys start"). X won't start, sudo also won't work, both (I think) because the root fs is mounted in read-only.

Tomorrow I'll try with 8.10.

Ok, in Intrepid (8.10) there is the same problem, except for the output: now the splash terminate immediately, and many line with "splash_progress" appear. The system hangs after /etc/init.d/readahead start. Ctrl-alt-del provocate only a change in the output with negative values in splash_progress lines.

Ctrl-f1 bring me in tty1, but the keyboard isn't usable. X won't start, and apparently no networking subsys are started (hostname in ttys box is "(none)" ).

Note that when I uncomment the "debug=echo", normal restart is impossible: you need an hard reset. Ctrl-alt-del also do nothings.
