I suspect this is another consequence of the switch to first rootskel's 
cttyhack and later the reopen-console script.

Reassigning to rootskel and setting severity to RC. Hopefully someone will 
look into it with you. Thanks for reporting the issue.

If you are able to debug and possibly even fix this yourself by booting 
with BOOT_DEBUG=3 and then debugging the init procedure manually 
with 'set -x' in the reopen-console script, that would be extremely 
helpful.

Cheers,
FJP
