Re: a boot problem?

[Shaul Karl <shaulka@bezeqint.net>]

You might consider booting into single user mode where you will be able 
to run each rc script in turn by hand. Afterwards you can run the 
system shutdown scripts by hand too; thus trying to pin point the 
problem.
As an alternative to a single user mode you might try to issue
    init=/bin/sh
as a boot loader parameter.
