Binary package hint: upstart

I installed Lucid alpha-1 and have been updating frequently through
today. As of sometime yesterday (15 Jan 2010) it usually crashes during
the boot process - usually as gdm is starting, showing a rotating mouse
pointer. The pointer stops rotating and the system seems to totally
freeze, with no disk activity.

If I select the 2.6.32-9-generic kernel instead, the system will boot
all the way, but then I see the X screen problem described in Bug
#495553. (Note that the tty display problem described in that bug still
exists).

If I select booting into recovery mode, and log in as root, I can start
gdm (That is how I got this system running just now). Note also that I
see that other daemons, such as ssh and apache2 have not started either
- I have to start them manually. Also, the virtual screen used for text
display in recovery mode is too big, so that lines I enter are off the
screen, so I have to "fly blind" - enter commands and password without
seeing what I type.
