sysvinit's telinit only ever sends SIGHUP, no matter what the argument. Upstart's 'telinit u' sends SIGTERM. busybox init interprets that as a reboot request.
This regression happened because libc6.postinst was simplified in line with Debian. We need to be more careful somehow, to avoid sending SIGTERM to non-Upstart instances of init. ** Package changed: debian-installer (Ubuntu) => eglibc (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/694772 Title: Sudden reboot during server ISO install -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
