Watch the boot messages, modifying your boot loader's configuration to ensure that they are displayed if this is not the case by default.
With quiet and splash removed, these tell me that local-premount, local-bottom, and init-bottom executed and completed from /scripts directory. Then nothing.
If you have the openvt command then openvt -c 2 bash should work too, and obviously you can substitue any virtual console number for 2 in the above example.
That works. Trouble is everything looks good to me... Apart from the fact nothing is happening. There are some non-kernel processes: init sh -e /proc/self/fd/9 \_ initctl emit startup plymouthd --mode=boot --attach-to-session mountall --daemon The last one seems strange, is this really meant to be a daemon? Seems to be in a select, according to strace. Everything else is either kernel stuff or from console tty2, ie. My debugging console. top says only one process is running, presumably top itself. Any more ideas? Thanks.
