I checked it out by writing the rcS log to the root filesystem (/), to exclude 
the possibility of mount issues. But it's still the same: Only one run is 
recorded. I also modified the tracker to create different files per run (to 
exclude sync issues when writing to the same file): 
Still, only one run is logged for rcS. But you can see two invocations in the 
process list...

Here's the updated tarball, including /etc/fstab and apt sources.list and the 
grub configurations /etc/default/grub and /boot/grub/grub.cfg. 
The system logs are still the old ones.

I enabled bootlogd, but still can not see any 'fail' messages anywhere. I can 
see them at bootup on the screen though. I just wonder why bootlogd does not 
get them ?
I can copy them with gpm if you like to see them.

Any chance this is happening on many other boxes out there, too, just, nobody 
noticing ?
I mean, who's looking up the boot messages on textconsole, nowadays. Virtually 
anybody boots into a graphical login manager. And remember, there are no log 
entries on disk.

I still suspect the sysv-rc upgrade script did something even though i rejected 
the upgrade. It's just, sysv-rc now does parallel launches and i have two init 
processes, but with the legacy layout, where it would not work. Maybe that's 
the problem ?

Alternatively, i wonder if it could be an issue with initramfs. Could the init 
ramdisk trigger two init launches ? Was its layout modified for the new sysv-rc 
somehow ?

Yes i could go dependency boot next. But honestly, this issue is so weird it 
should be explained. I mean if there's something that deeply screwed then it 
should be known how it was possible. And i did not tweak this installation, 
myself.

And what if i move to dependency boot and it's still two redundant init 
processes, launching anything twice ?

then what then what then what then what then what then what then what then what 
:)
