I have essentially Ubuntu Server (10.04/Lucid) running on my laptop, with 
wireless configured in /etc/network/interfaces to automatically start, and 
with the default Ubuntu splash and debathena-openafs-config installed. 
Once every several boots, openafs-client just won't have started (aklog 
will fail with an error indicating it's not running), and there's no 
evidence in /var/log/boot.log that it ever tried, not even "Starting AFS 
services:". /etc/init.d/openafs-client and /etc/rc2.d/S25openafs-client 
look fine, as do /etc/openafs/afs.conf{,.client}. What's going on?

If it's relevant, this might be more likely when I've been rebooting a lot 
(to test grub config); perhaps I've also held down shift during the boot, 
but that really really shouldn't be relevant for userspace initialization.
