Package: sysvinit-utils Version: 2.88dsf-41 Followup-For: Bug #678260 Tags: patch
Hi, I also see mixed boot messages with startpar, especially on slow embedded computers or on virtual machines. It seems that startpar tries to print the messages of the last active process immediately. On slow system, there is sometimes only one active process, which startpar incorrectly considers as the last process overall. The attached patch adds a better condition for this. The patch solves the issue on my computer. Startpar is a fairly complex program, hopefully the patch doesn't break other parts of it.
