Please advice Apart from the fact, that this isn't a kernel issue: The output from above clearly says that user-space stuff is running - daemons, programs, scripts started either indirectly from init or from a /linuxrc (which may explain why inittab is ignored - I don't not remember what happens if a /linuxrc exits).
