I started messing around with the rc.sysinit file thinking that maybe
something had changed between the different versions.
I found the problem was with this section
if [ "x`grep ip= /proc/cmdline`" = "x" ]
then
udhcpc -i eth0 -b -p /var/run/udhcpc.eth0.pid >/dev/null 2>&1
fi
So I tested the udhcpc with the above command in a normal terminal and
it doesn't go to the background.
I then tested it without sending the output to /dev/null. I get this
output.
udhcpc (v1.11.2) started
Sending discover...

Sending select for 192.168.1.169...
Sending select for 192.168.1.169...
It just keeps repeating like that forever. Possibly something wrong
with the -b in this version?
Once I removed that line everything else seemed to boot fine.
