Bug#638341: initscripts: Boot fails: Permission denied (Read-only file system)
Hi Roger, Thank you for your conscientious follow up. You very reasonably asked if I identified how the scripts lost execute permission. Unfortunately, I have not. I agree that since no similar bug reports have been forthcoming, the problem seems to have been limited to my system. Do you agree that this bug report should be closed?

Checking the actual .deb files, the init scripts in question are all installed with executable permissions. This doesn't look like a defect in the initscripts package itself. (If this was the case, there would also have been rather more bug reports.) Have you been able to identify the cause of the problem in the interim? Without some further detail, it's rather difficult to reproduce, and I would tend to think that it was due to something happening on your system rather than a bug in initscripts.

Bug#638341: initscripts: Boot fails: Permission denied (Read-only file system)
Hi, I just upgrade initscripts package to the new version '2.88dsf-13.11' too. I reboot my system and all seem to be OK. I checked the script you talking about and it have correct permissions. I try the same upgrade on an other testing system and it seem to be OK too. So, I could not reproduce this bug and maybe inisctripts package is not the source of your issue. But I just done some tests and I am not the maintainer of this package.

Bug#638341: initscripts: Boot fails: Permission denied (Read-only file system)
Package: initscripts Version: 2.88dsf-13.11 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system The initscripts package normally does a fine job of orchestrating many diverse and important resources. The main reason I'm writing is that after upgrading and re-booting, many, many errors appeared on the system console, including Permission denied Read-only file system unable to open pidfile module not found /etc/init.d/rc: line 150: /etc/rcS.d/S10checkroot.sh Permission denied If I recall correctly, I also saw errors something like hostname: Unknown host (none) As you might imagine, the computer made Charlie Sheen look stable. I rebooted the computer with a live CD, either Puppy Linux or System Rescue CD, chrooted to the hard drive, and saw that several init scripts lacked permission to be executed. I listed them with $ ls -l $(dpkg -L initscripts | egrep "init.d" | egrep sh) and saw lines like -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9398 Jul 13 14:11 /etc/init.d/checkroot.sh So I did a $ chmod 755 on the init scripts that needed permission to execute, and rebooted. It seemed to work. The bad news? How the scripts lost execute permission is a mystery.
