Comment 2 for bug 542378

This also happens with default Lucid kernel.

Ubuntu lucid sometimes cannot boot, this usually happens after install some new packages or after install some updates, so will this issue be related to package management in any way?
When the issue occurs, the playmouth boot splash is showed and never ends, if I hit enter, then splash goes away and this message appears:
"mountall: mountall.c:2726: Not reached assertion failed in boredom_timeout"
After this Ubuntu drops to a maintenance shell.
