    Hi Geordie Birch,

    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.

    Regards,
    Adam
