Comment 0 for bug 1610434

Having updated update-manager from trusty-proposed yesterday I booted into Ubuntu GNOME Trusty w/Utopic HWE and update-notifier told me that my HWE was EOL so I accepted the upgrade. Everything seemed to complete successfully and I was notified to reboot. Upon doing so boot freezes with the message "Restoring resolver state". I was unsure what package to file this against and since I can't boot that install I was unable to file using ubuntu-bug anyway. This freeze occurs whether trying to boot the lts-xenial kernel or the older lts-utopic kernel.

I can collect info as needed, the only useful I see in the logs in from apt/history beginning with the update-manager update yesterday and ending with the HWE EOL upgrade just a short time ago:

The hardware in use is pretty simple and straightforward (and known to work with Xenial):

Intel Atom CPU 230 @ 1.60GHz
Intel 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
Intel N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)
Realtek RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller (rev 02)
2GB DDR2 RAM

Looking in home I see .Xauthority is a blank file, not sure what that mens if anything.
