Bug Description
When booting 12.04 after a recent update, I see "init(4): no available ptys" being displayed faster than a machine gun. When I add --no-log as a kernel option and I'm able to boot just fine.
summary: |
- init(4): no available ptys stops boot + Upstart early job logging causes boot failure for systems with no + initramfs (error is "No available ptys") |
