Using HP DL 380 here. Actually we were lucky yesterday and found that the boot failure was due to a typo in /etc/interfaces that one of the guys made. It turned out that the ureadahead error is "harmless" and has nothing to do with the boot failure.
Ubuntu server 10.04 has a bug where any typo in /etc/interfaces will cause the machine to fail to boot, even in "Recovery Mode", which is pretty horrible for a server or even desktop distribution; you have to go on site and boot from a recovery CD to fix the file. But the devs already have a patch.
