The Dual CPU Pentium 3 server (see comment 151, 162 and 195) that has this problem has a very old ATI Rage chipset on the motherboard:
--------
$ runlevel
unknown
$ lspci | grep -i vga
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage XL AGP 2X (rev 27)
--------
It does not enter runlevel 2 about 25% to 50% of the time. It does not run X in any form, and would normally run postfix, apache, and slapd. SSH is started by upstart but console logins are not.
Luckily it is semi-retired and currently only used as a test server.
