I have no idea.  It reminds me of a problem I saw a long time ago,
where the keyboard would lock up when the ps2 mouse was accessed.
Never really figured out that one.

No idea.  Are you testing with bootchart to visualize the boot
process?

Personally I believe initng is the wrong approach, as there really is
no need to stop using the existing init.d scripts, when one can
document dependencies using LSB headers and run scripts in parallell
using the new rc script in etch and sid.

But I am very interested in measurements on improvements, compared to
the current implementation in sysvinit, and a few suggested
improvements of the rc script (C implementation was published on
initscripts-ng list).
