With the introduction of parallel booting, stricter constraints on the correctness of the dependency informatoin in init.d scripts is introduced. If all init.d scripts have correct and complete dependency information, the boot will work as it should, and without complete and corect dependency information, it might fail. This is not a bug with sysv-rc, but with the package providing the init.d script with the incomplete or incorrect dependency information. I do not know the packages installed on your machine, so it is hard to guess which package is buggy. Could it be that the nvidia script fail to specify that it need to run before kdm starts? Which packages are involved? Please provide the output from /usr/share/insserv/make-testsuite, to make it possible to reproduce your boot sequence. If you have an idea what script is buggy, try using /usr/share/insserv/check-initd-order -g > bootgraph.dot dotty bootgraph.dot to review the dependencies.
