I believe this bug is in Upstart due to similar bug that was recently fixed:

- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/936667

I am booting Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (x86) as a domU under Xen. After the previous bug was fixed, I still received the errors but the system now boots. However, during the boot process I see a lot of these errors:

====
init: Failed to create pty - disabling logging for job
init: Temporary process spawn error: No such file or directory
====

These combination of errors print, and then this line is spat out multiple times:

====
init: Failed to create pty - disabling logging for job

I'm currently using a custom compiled kernel that exists outside of the filesystem. The issue also is present on the distribution-supplied Linux kernel.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
