I just installed 11.10 today using do-release-upgrade, and I'm still encountering this issue. I'm not sure whether it should be reported in this bug or in 818177 (first time launchpad visitor here), but that bug is marked as fixed now.

Booting normally, I get a few messages flashing by ("udev: timeout: kiling /sbin/modprobe", etc), then there are messages from services indicating the filesystem is read-only, and then the system freezes.
Booting in single-user mode, the same messages go by, but I'm able to get a command prompt, re-mount the root as RW, etc. Strangely enough, eth0 (which is a broadcom card) shows up and is working correctly in SUM.

Attached the dmesg output. Hardware is a Dell PowerEdge 2950.

Any help would be appreciated, let me know if I can provide any further information, thanks!
