Sounds like this might be a "chicken-and-egg" issue where Upstart wants a pty, but pty support isn't yet available (/dev/pts not mounted) as the mountall job hasn't yet run. This being a side-effect of having no initramfs since /dev/pts is normally mounted from there. -- You received this bug not

@Daniele: add "init=/bin/sh" to your grub command line and boot. This will drop you to a shell. You can then inspect permissions with "ls -l /dev/ptmx". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/93
