Comment 15 for bug 1007293

Ok, here's the problem:

Jun 5 22:24:04 intwinxpubuntu6 kernel: [ 8.910762] init: portmap main process (524) became new process (527)
Jun 5 22:24:04 intwinxpubuntu6 kernel: [ 8.921625] init: portmap state changed from spawned to post-start
Jun 5 22:24:04 intwinxpubuntu6 kernel: [ 8.921947] init: portmap state changed from post-start to running
Jun 5 22:24:04 intwinxpubuntu6 kernel: [ 8.922172] init: Handling started event
Jun 5 22:24:04 intwinxpubuntu6 kernel: [ 8.922498] init: ypbind goal changed

This shows that ypbind is being started as soon as portmap starts. But the start condition for ypbind is:

start on (started portmap ON_BOOT=
          or (started portmap ON_BOOT=y
              and ((filesystem and static-network-up) or failsafe-boot)))

So it appears that portmap is being started with ON_BOOT= instead of with ON_BOOT=y, confusing ypbind into believing that as soon as portmap starts, ypbind can also be started.

I believe this is due to a bug in either the portmap-wait or the statd job, one of which needs to set ON_BOOT=y.

Going back a bit in the boot:
