Yes, the exact same thing happened to me, apparently because 2.1.13
does not understand the "#!/usr/sbin/perl --" line in the script. No
script which gives an argument to its processor works with that
kernel.
Miraculously, almost everything will work normally if you change the
line to "#!/usr/bin/perl". Seems like start-stop-daemon is the only
key script that gives arguments to its processor.
This is the first 2.1 kernel I've tried, so I don't know if its a bug
or a feature. (Its startup messages mentioned being POSIX-certified,
mabye things like "#!/usr/bin/perl -w" and "#!/usr/bin/make -f" are
unsupported now?)
