After upgrading to libc libc6_2.3.2-7 from unstable (although this may
not have been a direct reason for the situation), I've got the following
problem with init - somewhy, it does not switch to any runlevel, except
for S (upon boot) and 0.
When the system is booting, init successfully runs everything in /etc/rcS.d.
After that, it says that it is abouts to switch to runlevel 2, and then
nothing happens.
For now, the only solution I've came into is installing /etc/rcS.d/S99
script that does what is init supposed to do - starting/stopping
everything that is specified in /etc/rc2.d directory.
Now upon booting, system function properly, but it's impossible to
either switch to another runlevel (without using hand-made scripts) or
reboot the machine - commands to do this (init X, reboot) are simply
ignored, besides broadcasting the prompt about an intent to execute
them. Fortunately, however, that init 0 works properly and the volumes
are getting umounted.
After upgrading to libc6_2.3.2-8 and the latest sysvinit package, the
problem still exist.
Perhaps someone can give some hints about where the bug could be in my
system... In fact, this system is rather old - it was initially
installed as potato rc0, and then regularry updated in different
directions between stable, unstable and testing, using apt and dpkg.
So maybe some config files got incompatible at some moment, or something
like that.
