[Buchan, you will laugh, but it was different problem] OK, could you please check a couple of things. - do you have /lib/dev-state/log file? - what gives 'grep log /etc/devfsd.conf' - what happens if you boot without devfs (with devfs unmounted)? - what happens if you boot without devfs with root mounted read-write initially (I am afraid, if you use ext3, reiser or similar you will have to edit mkinitrd and recreate initrd to do it - currently mkinitrd has builtin 'mount --ro'). In short it appears that minilogd tries to exit but blocks and all other programs that try to connect to it block as well. The above is mostly to make sure why it tries to exit. I will have to think why it blocks (I know how to reproduce it now easily without rebooting). thank you for your help -andrey
