This is a "patch" fix that ensures these messages are at least displayed, until such time as we add magic to the checkrootfs script or turn it into an upstart job
upstart (0.2.1-6) edgy; urgency=low . * Make packages Essential, and change Depends to Pre-Depends so that the packages work when unconfigured (nothing interesting is performed in postinst). Ubuntu: #59005. * Sync priority in debian/control with that in the archive (required) * Drop warning of dire consequences if you install upstart, seeing as it's installed by default. . * Add new startup-tasks and system-services packages which will contain the /etc/event.d files themselves (other than the main ones). * Move tty definitions into system-services. * Modify tty definitions to start when the rcS task has finished. This puts them in the "right" place when compared to gdm. Ubuntu: #58630. . * Correct rcS compatibility script to ignore any information in utmp so that all scripts are always run. Ubuntu: #59203. * Make rcS the console owner while it runs, temporary fix for Ubuntu: #58609, #58794, #58796 * Include default control-alt-delete handler that reboots the machine. ** Changed in: upstart (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Committed => Fix Released ** Also affects: sysvinit (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed ** Changed in: sysvinit (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Scott James Remnant Status: Unconfirmed => Confirmed -- upstart doesn't display checkrootfs.sh messages https://launchpad.net/bugs/58609 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
