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) Cheers, Bob McElrath [Univ. of California at Davis, Department of Physics]
