Yes, wheezy1 one time and sid at every other time, I've never used an old image to rescue the system, always the squeeze debian-installer image. From there I've mounted the required FSs and "dpkg -i qcontrol_0.4.2+svn-r40-3_armel.deb" to install the sid package and rebuild the initrd. > I suppose something, probably an initscript, is getting blocked > somewhere.

No problem with d-i as rescue, it's the only one I've used so far ;-) I'll give it a try when there's some spare time to do this. On the ohter hand...

OK, then I can confirm the wheezy2 version fixes the bug and I'll probably have to open another bug when I know which part of the system blocks the boot :) Hanno -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
