Often with the 2.6.24 kernel I get a readlink error on bootup, and I've seen udev complain about not finding script files. I don't see the errors in dmesg output or with the bootlog output, so could you suggest how to further identify the problem? Uncommenting debug=echo in /etc/init.d/rc resulted in a system that wouldn't shut down or boot up correctly )-:.
