After upgrading a few packages (that pulled in an unstable init and
sysvinit scripts) my machine hangs on bootup right after the line:
Starting Bootlog daemon:
which is followed by the "adding swap space" on the same line. (This is
from memory -- the machine won't boot past this point)
The machine is an alpha lx164 with a self-compiled kernel 2.4.21 (this
kernel booted successfully the last several times and is unmodified --
so the problem is likely not the kernel itself).
Barry Hawkins reported something similar on a powerbook on the
debian-powerpc list. (very different hardware)
