I believe this bug is in Upstart due to similar bug that was recently fixed:
- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/936667
I am booting Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (x86) as a domU under Xen. After the previous bug was fixed, I still received the errors but the system now boots. However, during the boot process I see a lot of these errors:
====
init: Failed to create pty - disabling logging for job
init: Temporary process spawn error: No such file or directory
====
These combination of errors print, and then this line is spat out multiple times:
====
init: Failed to create pty - disabling logging for job
====
I'm currently using a custom compiled kernel that exists outside of the filesystem. The issue also is present on the distribution-supplied Linux kernel.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[PROBLEM]
This bug causes Upstart to display 1 error message / job that is started that should have its output logged (by default ''all'' jobs are thus affected) if it is unable to create a pseudoterminal device, which is required for Upstart job logging.
[IMPACT]
This bug affects all users that:
- boot their systems without an initramfs
- have non-standard /dev setups (for example a static /dev).
Backporting this fix to precise makes sense since:
- precise is an LTS.
- this bug is variously annoying/intimidating to users.
- this bug stops Upstart from logging job output at boot time.
- the comments on this bug show that users are already running in the environments outlined above.
[FIX DETAILS]
Upstart will now mount /dev as a devtmpfs filesystem if it fails to find expected device entries (/dev/ptmx and /dev/pts/) on the disk at boot time.
If any of the following devices do not exist (after any /dev mount attempt):
- /dev/ptmx (for pty support, required for Upstart job logging).
- /dev/null
- /dev/tty
- /dev/console
- /dev/kmsg (for early message logging)
[TEST CASE]
To reproduce this issue:
1) hold down control key at power-on to enter grub menu.
2) press 'e' to edit the top (default) kernel command-line.
3) modify the line beginning with "linux" such that:
3.1) "quiet" is removed.
3.2) "splash" is removed.
3.3) "root=" is set to the *device name*, rather than a UUID
(generally, this will be something like "root=/dev/sda1").
3.4) add "rootfstype=<filesystem_type>"
(this will be either "rootfstype=ext4" or "rootfstype=ext3").
3.5) You'll now have a linux line something like this:
"linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-27-generic root=/dev/sda1 rootfstype=ext4 ro"
4) *delete* the line beginning "initrd" entirely.
5) Press Control+x or F10 to boot.
6) Watch the boot messages and you will see various error messages including the following repeated multiple times:
- "init: Failed to create pty - disabling logging for job".
[REGRESSION POTENTIAL]
None identified.
This fix is in upstream Upstart and quantal as of upstart version 1.5-0ubuntu8 (added to archive on 8 August 2012).
