Hi Geordie Birch, > FWIW, I have version 2.85-5 of initscripts, sysvinit, and sysv-rc > installed and am not having any problems re. terminal output.
Upon standard bootup into a terminal it appears that output ceases before the INIT: Entering Runlevel : 2 message but will start up again if the kernel sends a message to the terminal. This could explain how you were still able to see the login. I suspect if you look harder at your terminal output you will see some of it is missing. You could be fortunate that a kernel message restarted the terminal output. On my third system output had also fully ceased in single user mode just like the rest. But when booting normally it restarted after a while when the parport module produced output. Perhaps one of the upgraded scripts contains an XOFF (CTRL-S) character code.
