Please CC on replies.
Attached is REPORTING-BUGS template from source, and a hand copied oops
that I ran through ksymoops. I really hope this is resolved, anything
further needed, just ask.

It's freezing while startup scripts are run, on Debian Sid, it has just
finished clean /var /tmp etc, and is doing one of three things from tail
end of /etc/rcS/S55bootmisc.sh:
1. if [ -c /dev/ttyp0 ]
     then
        chmod 666 /dev/tty[p-za-e][0-9a-f]
        chown root:tty /dev/tty[p-za-e][0-9a-f]
   fi
2. if [ "$EDITMOTD" != no ]
     then
        uname -a > /etc/motd.tmp
        sed 1d /etc/motd >> /etc/motd.tmp
        mv /etc/motd.tmp /etc/motd
   fi
3. dmesg > /var/log/dmesg

It never gets to /etc/rcS/S55urandom: echo -n "Initializing random number generator... "
                
In addition, about 30 seconds after the oops, while I was copying it,
the following printed at bottom of screen:
VM: refill_inactive, wrong page on list
