I did a HDD install from the Knoppix linuxtag 3.4 DVD, removed all knoppix-specifics and replaced them with official debian packages & kernel 2.6

Now the system won't complete the boot process on its own - after mounting the root filesystem and loading the modules, it initiates a shutdown.

I'm not sure if this is being called from a shutdown script, or what's going on.

I have to start in single user mode and issue "init 2" to get it to work.

Has anyone else seen this, and if not , I would still appreciate some insight.
