After visting the laptop of Will I've found that the ntp script
is hanging. And as this seems to be the last job which startpar
in /etc/init.d/rc handles currently. Therefore the boot process
is stopped at ntp. Let's have a look into the process table:
linux:~ # pstree -a 2158
rc /etc/init.d/rc 5
`-startpar -p4 -t 30 -T 3 -S 20000:45535 -M start -P N -R 5
|-ntp /etc/init.d/ntp start
| `-ntp /etc/init.d/ntp ntptimeset
| `-ntpd -g -u ntp:ntp -c /etc/ntp.conf -q
|-(splash)
`-(startpar)
now it seems that the ntpd is not a real daemon as it has
not forked away. If this is intended as it looks like that
the fist initial time is set from a time reference server,
there have to to a timeout on which the initial timeset fails
and the boot process can be continued.
