I had the exact same issue documented as https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/807306 on upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10. Opening new bug as req.

Removing the existing /var/run and /var/run/lock and replacing with sym links as per comment 76 there fixed it.

The impact of this was a total lack of system (wireless) networking coming up - this gives a >! minute pause during boot, as well as a subsequent total failure to be able to log into X (KDE or GNOME sessions give a cryptic error related to DBUS).

I've just run an apt-get update/upgrade after *finally* getting back into my new 11.10 beta 2 system, and no updates to the mountall show up... therefore I assume this bug is still present.
