[Voyage-linux] Reboot failure after apt-get upgrade - unstable

Mon Apr 3 00:48:15 HKT 2006

I've just unfortunately duplicated something that I thought was simply a 
goof on my part but may be an apt-get/package problem.

I've got my apt sources file set to us.voyage.hk for the unstable tree 
so I could get the latest kernel and madwifi-ng stuff.  Everything 
upgrades fine when running

apt-get dist-upgrade

and the system then reboots to the new kernel fine.  However, after 
loading a few other things (that should really have nothing to do with 
this problem) such as rsync and quagga, the unit fails on reboot. with

INIT: Id "T0" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel
INIT: Id "T0" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
.
.
.
etc.

I've made no changes to inittab from the initial load through the 
upgrades.  I do have the serial speed set to 38400 but that's never been 
a problem until now.

Any comments?  How does one interrupt the boot on a WRAP to boot single 
user, BTW?

Below is the entire boot console output.  Sorry about the extra data but 
it might clue someone to what's happening.
