Good.

It's my own kernel, 2.6.31. From what I saw, it needs CONFIG_AUDIT and
I have it:
$ grep CONFIG_AUDIT .config
# CONFIG_AUDIT_ARCH is not set
CONFIG_AUDIT=y
# CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL is not set
CONFIG_AUDIT_GENERIC=y
Maybe CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL is also needed?
Booting it with RAC_DEBUG="on" in /etc/readahead.conf I have:
$ cat /dev/.readahead-rac.debug
***DEBUG:
HAVE SIGNAL 15
***DEBUG: deleting audit rule
readahead-collector: ERROR: deleting rule (Invalid argument)
***DEBUG: starting reordering data
***DEBUG: done: success
No messages while booting however, except the "failed" one (when using
the original init scripts; with my patched version I get no "failed"
messages but still gets the same result: nothing).
Using insserv and dash as sh.
In /etc/default/rcS I have "CONCURRENCY=makefile"
What else can I use to debug this, please?

Thank you!
