Comment 69 for bug 125702

@rene:

Weird. How is the boot failing - any error message? You might need to boot with "quiet" and "splash" removed from the kernel command line to see what's going on .. adding "debug" or "debug=y" to the kernel command line will give even more info (one will debug to the screen, the other to a file in the ramdisk, can't remember which is which.)

I booted my 4Gb persistent jaunty install today, so I promise it's not a figment of my imagination this does work!

Oooh .. another thought: are you booting on a machine that uses LVM or kernel RAID? If so you might be hitting bug #385305 ..
