Same problem here, ML350 G5

Funny thing is that after the update from 11.04 to 11.10 i had no problems booting, just no network as described in bug 842560. Booted without network about 3-4 times with succes.

To try and fixed that i upgraded the firmwares using the hp firmware CD 930. (which seems to work with a 11.10 desktop boot CD).
After this i ran into the killing modprobe / read-only fs problem. And i didn't get the system to boot correctly once since then.

Since everything was backed up i decided to start with a clean 11.10 install, but ran in to the same problem.

Tried to replace the 'udevadm control --exit' in /scripts/init-bottom/udev with 'pkill udevd', but it has no effect.

Guess trying to downgrade firmware's is next, but since hp only supplies seperate windows packages that will take a while...
