No, I don't think its bootlogd. According to /etc/rcS.d/S02mountkernfs.sh it is possible for /var/run to be mounted on tmpfs (and it would become writeable before the udev is run in that case) by setting RAMRUN=yes in /etc/default/rcS. Can you post the output of 'mount' on your machine?

Right, ipw3945-modules used to do that, but it has been fixed (bug 399491). Besides, the ps output Dieter has posted indicates that both daemons are started using the /etc/init.d/ipw3945d script.

Bug#401558: ipw3945d: Binary userspace regulatory daemon starting twice on bootup
Jurij Smakov wrote: The thing you describe may happen if your /var/run/ipw3945d directory is writeable already when udev starts the daemon. Then it is started early, but later /etc/rcS.d/S36mountall-bootclean.sh is run, which cleans out the /var/run directory. So the pid file gets lost, and daemon is fired up again when S39ipw3945d script is run. So, what is your setup? Why would /var be writeable early in the boot process? It must be some local customization, because by now quite a few people have been using it, and nobody complained of anything like that :-). Best regards, Jurij, You are right, /var is writeable when the daemon is started from udev. But i have no idea why... As far as I know, I'm running a standard debian testing (except kernel). The only thing I could think of that's not standard in my install is that i was running bootlogd. I thought bootlogd was mounting /var early to be able to write its log in /var/log/, but I turned it off, and it still mounts /dev/sda1 before udev is starting ipw3945d. From dmesg: ...

Bug#401558: Possible explanation
Hi! What I found out is that the debian ipw3945-modules-* package (made by kernel-package with make-kpkg) distributes the /etc/modprobe.d/ipw3945-modules file while ipw3945d distributes /etc/modprobe.d/ipw3945d which both start the daemon. This might be the cause of the problem. I suggest removing the file from ipw3945-modules-* as there might be more than one of those package installed at the same time, and they would fight for ownership of that file, I think... So this could probably be retitled to "shouldn't ship /etc/modprobe.d/ipw3945-modules" and reassigned to ipw3945-source... Correct me if I'm wrong...
