Author init script output vanished

Hi DDs!

For a few days the init script messages of many programs have just
disappeared:

-------------------------------------------------------------
[Everything is allright up to here]
Configuring network interfaces...eth0: Setting full-duplex based on MII #8 link partner capability of 45e1.
done.
Loading the saved-state of the serial devices...
Setting up general console font... done.

Setting the System Clock using the hardware Clock as reference...
System Clock set. Local time: Thu Apr 1 19:52:34 CEST 2004

Running ntpdate to synchronize clock.
Initializing random number generator...done.
Setting up X server socket directory /tmp/.X11-unix...done.
Setting up ICE socket directory /tmp/.ICE-unix...done.

Debian GNU/Linux testing/unstable donald vc/1

donald login:
-------------------------------------------------------------

At the [XXXX] marked position /etc/rcS.d/S70xfree86-common has obviously been
executed. Then only S75sudo is left in /etc/rcS.d/. But then, no init script
linked from /etc/rc2.d/ brings any output (alsa, postgresql, inetd, samba, xdm,
etc. pp). However, there is a huge delay with hd access and the services start
and run correctly.

Does this happen only at my box or also at someone else's?

Thanks for any hints and have a nice day!

Martin

I now know the cause: I'm using udev. Until a few days ago I ran a
devfs-enabled kernel (with automatic mount on boot) since otherwise
the kernel could not mount the root partition (too early for udev).

Then I disabled devfs from kernel because I found it ugly to have
first devfs and then udev's tmpfs mounted over /dev; I copied back
some static device nodes into /dev to allow booting.

So I guess I discuss this further with Marco.

Have a nice evening!

Martin
