If you move init.d from /etc/rc.d/init.d to /etc/init.d so that init.d
is no longer in the /etc/rc.d fileystem none of the scripts run as
install_initd stills make the symlinks point to the
non-existent /etc/rc.d/init.d directory. install_initd looks
for /etc/rc.d and then /etc/rc.d/init.d but does not adjust the
symlinks to point to /etc/init.d. They still are made to point
to /etc/rc.d/init.d directory
I'll have to look at the
target = os.path.join(os.path.relpath(initdDir, rldir), sname)
to see if I think it will solve this.
Also the init script to bring up swap is too early and needs to be as
follows:
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: swap
# Required-Start: udev $local_fs
# Should-Start: modules
# Required-Stop: localnet $local_fs
# Should-Stop:
# Default-Start: S
# Default-Stop: 0 6
# Short-Description: Mounts and unmounts swap partitions.
# Description: Mounts and unmounts swap partitions defined in
# /etc/fstab.
# X-LFS-Provided-By: LFS
### END INIT INFO
Note that $local_fs was added to Required-Start.
This will make swap come up after the local file system is mounted so
that if you are using a swap file instead of a swap partition it
will work. As LFS has it swap partitions will never come up at boot and
you have to manually bring them up. Bruce is too hard headed to fix
this. Has been broken for a long time.
