I am experiencing exactly the same problem since I upgraded to Lucid yesterday. I wonder if this is a udev problem, because I've also discovered an issue with the permissions of /dev/shm.

Since, the upgrade to Lucid, boots hangup indefinitely. I have to execute the following procedure to get to the GDM screen:
1. Enter M (for Manual Recovery)
2. Execute "mount -a" which mounts all filesystems on LVM without problems.
3. CTRL-D to close the shell and continue with the reboot.

After login to Gnome Session, launching Google Chrome fails, because /dev/shm has permissions rw-r--r-t. Google Chrome starts working normally after setting /dev/shm permissions manually to rw-rw-rwt, but the permissions do not survive a reboot.
