Somtimes I get to a login prompt before seeing any. Other times, commands in the simpleinit rc script fail. They do apear to be random. If a command failes, you re-run the command and it is OK. Commands seen to fail are basic (depmod, rm cat ..). The test I did use the same binaries with both the OK and problem kernels so it is not a change to the application code, it is definatly a kernel issue. Regards Mark Fortescue.
