RE: Mike Bianchi Yes, I tried ALL of the instructions suggested: commenting out 'console output' in /etc/init/*.conf files, adding the rsyslog config line to /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf, and adding the "init='/sbin/init --verbose'" line to the grub config. This didn't solve my problem: I still have services that don't start on reboot, including nginx and a couple fastcgi init scripts.

An interesting, possibly related, thing that I've noticed is when I issue 'shutdown -r now', sometimes the machine doesn't reboot. I've had to issue the command again to get the machine to actually reboot.

I'll add my 2 cents that this issue is quite dire (what organization wants a server that doesn't reliably start services on boot?), and hope that Canonical is working on a fix.
