I just did a fresh installation of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on a Dell Inspiron
6400 and from the very first boot after installation I began receiving
this error:

I am getting "ureadahead main process (319) terminated with status 5" or
sometimes "ureadahead main process (329) terminated with status 5"
during boot. Sometimes the boot fails but sometimes it completes
successfully.

I /do/ have my /var directory in a separate partition. I've done some
googleing and see that separating my /var away from my / partition seems
to be the cause of my problem, but I don't see any reasonable good
solutions.

Does the solution nosco propose in Comment #23 above seem reasonable?
(namely, sudo sed -i 's+^start on starting mountall+start on mounted
MOUNTPOINT=/var+' /etc/init/ureadahead.conf)

I was playing around with removing the pack files and disabling the
ureadahead.conf file and I discovered that I have NO pack files in
/var/lib/ureadahead/pack. Perhaps this is the source of the problem?

Just hoping to include more clues that might help give a reasonable
resolution to folks getting this error.
