You can start with 'man init' and make sure the commands you are using are
valid for the version installed. Follow that (if you haven't done so
already) with a look at /etc/inittab to make sure the runlevels are the
same (they vary by distro).
If that still doesn't answer your query, I dunno. I haven't delved into it
beyond changing manually to 1 and 3.
