[Splashy-devel] Bug#559149: splashy does not work with parallel booting

[Darren Hoo]

Subject: splashy does not  work with parallel booting
Package: splashy
Version: 0.3.13-5.1
Severity: normal


if I enable parallel booting with
  echo CONCURRENCY=makefile >> /etc/default/rcS
Splashy will cause the boot process to stop at the very
early stage of init scripts,but I do not know where exactly
it stops,because reset the computer is the only thing I can
do when it hangs.

it boots ok with splashy disabled or use CONCURRENCY=none

since sysv-rc began to depend on insserv and made parallel
booting the default,splashy stops working , So I switched to
usplash for a while, it works ok with parallel booting,but it
does not work well during halt or reboot,it always chvt to tty1
and prints out the verbose message.

So I switch back to splashy again only to find that it still
does not work with parallel booting.

I will try to figure out at which exact point the boot process
stops but I don't know how to do that for now.

I wonder if anyone can give me some advice.

BTW,I am using sysvinit instead of upstart,have not tried upstart
yet.
