-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Package: sysvinit Version: 2.88dsf-13.11
Thank you very much for maintaining Debian's crucially important sysvinit package. You'll know better than I, but it seems to me that I may have stumbled upon a bug in it. I upgraded from version 2.86.ds1-60 to 2.88dsf-13.11 and booted, and soon after the bootloader (grub) ran, I was greeted with the following messages, which I dutifully copied by hand for your edification and amusement. (Hopefully the web based email editor that I'm using won't wrap them...) /init: /init: 223: [: not found /init: /init: 223: sh: not found /init: /init: 223: [: not found /init: /init: 223: [: not found /init: /init: 224: [: not found /init: /init: 239: [: not found /init: /init: 239: [: not found /init: /init: 239: [: not found /init: /init: 239: [: not found /init: /init: 239: umount: not found /init: /init: 242: mount: not found /init: /init: 243: mount: not found /init: /init: 273: [: not found /init: /init: 291: [: not found /init: /init: 293: [: not found /init: /init: 318: cannot open /root/dev/console: No such file [ 1.103189] Kernelpanic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

Unfortunately, the problem persisted. I can wait for maybe twenty four hours for your wise questions and informed suggestions. After that, I need to try to restore the system from a backup. As you know, that'll make it harder to debug this. Maybe the fastest way to coordinate would be through IRC on freenode's #debian channel. So, that's what I think I know about it. Thanks again for your time and attention maintaining such an important package, Kingsley -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Charset: UTF8 Version: Hush 3.0 Note: This signature can be verified at https://www.hushtools.com/verify wsBcBAEBAgAGBQJORFmcAAoJEJcphLrL8UMTnyoH/0aMxvT8xBYTLWujTeFAhZh4oiAL TB+EwDISCTpgFJACI7Rg1/EIwKTUsrF7Wnig2HG/wJfl+P/s3x4BoUQn/heoxAcNP6MO RHPnrTyFmWVFmjNZnSidGkBY0J8DhF8dn2cs/kJjos0O/kIu/3qGfWIyBdmQcd4x8Fw3 /9MepER4KzN6cGPSJkqqXWMPaz34176kCDDzuGBZGWSPAlMuCqwEQMhw7WmYVvicObfd muzUhChNqhApbmm8j8jGIDBOA7ubkqXBS4tPp3cLqvEbuUW2FfpzGpXk8r678F7tozPa 6zzFwpOdkLxeJLMKaooESX7epZDIX2lfb1R5371kRAo= =mxio -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
