I have recently upgraded one of my machines from 9.10 o 10.04, and while the upgrade itself was complete flawless, I experiences problems while booting after the install.
My configuration includes software RAID-1 devices /dev/md0 and /dev/md1 for /home and /extramd, which I have had partitioned and mounted since 8.04. In each previous upgrade, I experienced no problems with mounting these partitions after the upgrade. After my most recent upgrade to 10.04, my two RAID-1 md devices were not mounted at boot time. The boot splash screen had a cryptic message of "Continue to wait; press 'S' to skip; press 'M' for maintenance mode" (or similar.) Eventually, I could either 'Skip' or drop into maintenance mode, and the problem would disappear, allowing me to continue booting.
After perusing some other like upgrade problems, I installed the 'dmraid' package ("sudo apt-get install dmraid"). This installs an init.d script to run "dmraid -ay" at boot time, and fixed my problem.
