Package: initscripts Version: 2.86.ds1-3 Severity: important The executive summary is:
When /etc/rcS.d/S05bootlogd starts /sbin/bootlogd, the /var partition may not yet be mounted. Thus neither a pid file can be created nor /var/log/boot :( Please find the details in this log: ,---- | + PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin | + DAEMON=/sbin/bootlogd | + NAME=bootlogd | + DESC='Bootlog daemon' | + test -f /sbin/bootlogd | + '[' -r /etc/default/bootlogd ']' | + . /etc/default/bootlogd | ++ BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=Yes | + case "$BOOTLOGD_ENABLE" in | + . /lib/lsb/init-functions | ++ '[' -e /etc/lsb-base-logging.sh ']' | ++ true | + STOPPER= | + ACTION=start | + case "$0" in | + case "$ACTION" in | + log_begin_msg 'Starting Bootlog daemon: ' | + '[' -z 'Starting Bootlog daemon: ' ']' | + echo -n 'Starting Bootlog daemon: ' | + '[' -d /proc/1/.

S25mdadm-raid and S35mountall.sh come much later. Maybe a possible workaround is to use /dev/shm (which is mounted by S02mountvirtfs) to preliminary store the log file and get S99stop-bootlogd to move it to /var/log.
