Package: sysvinit_2.86.ds1-38_i386.deb After booting to runlevel 2 using init 2 in the boot command line, the init (runlevel) fails to work correctly when changing between runlevels 2 through 5. I have removed all of the rc#.d scripts and the problem remains. Changing from 2 through 5 to 1 seems to work fine except for a error that says "error: '/etc/init.d/rc' exited outside the expected code flow." Changing from 1 back to the other levels 2 through 5 works fine with no apparent errors. But when trying to change from level 2 to level 3 the system hangs until you press a key which returns the prompt. But if you use the "runlevel" command you get the indication that the runlevel has in fact changed from 2 to 3. However, that is not the case because the command "echo $RUNLEVEL" indicates that you are still in run level 2. In addition, the "bash" command history has not changed. So, as I see it, "init" is updating "/var/run/utmp indicating a runlevel change has happened but it doesn't change the value of $RUNLEVEL and, in fact, it does not change the environment to a new run level when changing between levels 2 through 5. Runlevels 0 and 6 work as expected. Since I'm not well versed in script programs I could not isolate the problem any better than what I have described.
The kernel that I am running is debian-2.6.17 #4 PREEMPT on i686 arch. My libc6 is version 2.3.6ds1-10 Ron Kinney _______________________________________________ Pkg-sysvinit-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-sysvinit-devel
