14 Ok, Norberto. Looks like the (or, a) problem is initctl. The named
15 pipe is missing...or is it supposed to be created during boot? I got
16 the info below after 'chrooting' from a livecd boot. I don't know what
17 the pipe is for, so time to start reading. But I wanted to get this
18 posted soon as I could.
