I had exactly this behavior yesterday, although probably not for the same reason. I had uncommented the "echo" entry at the beginning of /etc/init.d/rc, because I thought that would additionally print the executed commands. However this switches rc to "only print" while init itself sends real TERMs and KILLs. So I ended up with "no processes left in runlevel" (and a crash) :( But I can't imagine what would change this entry if you didn't... Christian
