Hmm... so, something does solve the problem you are seeing at the |
| 27 |
beginning later on. |
| 28 |
Did you update all the configuration files (including the ones in |
| 29 |
/etc/init.d/.. )? |
| 30 |
It could be that something there is not set correctly. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
For now, I am assuming the issue is in the boot-sequence/runlevel. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Can you check which services are in your boot-runlevel? |
| 35 |
I have: |
| 36 |
bootmisc, checkfs, checkroot, clock, consolefone, hostname, keymaps, |
| 37 |
localmount, modules, net.lo rmnologin and urandom. |
| 38 |
Think these are the default ones. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Do you use an initrd? If yes, did you update this as well? |
