You can start with me. That is what I kept running into is the init thingy failing. I would reinstall and it would work for a while but would eventually give some sort of error and crap out. So to answer your question, I can say MYSELF that this EXACT thing has happened. It also happened on a very popular distro at that. Mandrake at the time. It wasn't just once, it was many times.
