[sysvinit-devel] sysvinit-2.88dsf: timeout opening/writing control channel /dev/initctl

[Guido Trentalancia]

Hello.

I was trying to re-install sysvinit, but unfortunately I am hitting a 
problem related to the init FIFO.

Basically after re-installing it, init is getting stuck at boot with the 
following error message:

telinit: timeout opening/writing control channel /dev/initctl

After reading several online bug reports, it seems that this is a well 
known problem, however I have not found a clear and widely accepted 
solution to this problem yet, so I was wondering whether anybody on this 
list already came up with one...

Thanks for your time.

Guido
