Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

I ran a set of updates a few weeks ago that caused my (remote) ubuntu
Jaunty system to not boot up.

It was installed off of the "alternate" CD, with "md" (RAID) devices
enabled. I have had a number of problems with it, getting it
oing,initially, and then with HAL failing because it "couldn't assemble
the RAID devices". More information on that issue can be found in the
bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hal/+bug/361689.

Well, Now I am getting a HAL failure message on the GUI once Ubuntu
boots, but there is no Keyboard/Mouse/Network, so there is no way for me
to interact with the system. The only thing I can do is drop to a root
shell w/networking at boot.

To further complicate the diagnosis, I only have remote access to this
machine, so my ability to reboot it is limited to when I can have
someone do it for me, drop to a root shell, and then start SSHd.

The error in the Xorg log says:

(EE) config/hal: couldn't initialise context: (null) ((null))

P.S. I also have a warning in Xorg that says:

(WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic" does not exist.

Please let me know if I can provide any more information to help
diagnose this bug.

Thanks!
