We still experience this bug on lucid today. Bootchart shows that the boot stalls on mountall.

The system boots in some cases, so it is possible to compare OK and KO cases. Attached are:

* The two bootcharts (OK and KO) ;
* The two mountall --debug logs (OK and KO);
* Our /etc/fstab

The bootcharts clearly show that mountall is the process blocking the boot with LVM (until we press 'S' or 'M'). In the KO case, the mountall debug logs read:

  Received SIGUSR1 (network device up)
  try_mount: /WOO waiting for device

which seems to be blocking all the depending mounts.
