Thanks for responding so quickly!

OK, that'll be a big help. Editing the individual scripts was no problem...I scripted the process.


The debugging shows that all of the scripts are called...now the display freezes with a screen that shows:


Booting from mmcint1 ...
/etc/rc2.d/S99zzinitdone


In a change from the boot process before editing /etc/init.d/rc, there is no blue progress bar vizible at the bottom of the screen, and no "Nokia" graphic.

Do you have any suggestions about what comes next in the startup process...

Is there any way to boot the tablet in text mode (runlevel 3), or to get more debugging on the steps that follow S99zzinitdone?

SNIP!

There doesn't seem to be a syslog package built for chinook...or at least it's not in any of the gronmayer repositories.

Thanks!
