Yup, happens every time a new release goes out. We try lotsa new stuff,
and it's not quite coordinated. reportbug gets lots of exercise, and
upstream gets spanked.

I'd tend to agree, but I don't think this specific case is a problem
with sid. It's just the drive that needed a fsck. (Or is there a bug in
the init scripts that misinterprets fsck's return codes?)

We do. When I have time to play, I love to see what can be done with my
favorite stuff. My road lappy is running Lenny - and is quite happy
with it. I'll keep it there, for now. Misery is a borked wifi
connection in a strange hotel. With business pending.
At home, now, the monster box with all the new hardware is running
pure-dee Sid, and code is playing catch-up at the moment - it's fun.

It may just be a typo, but "init-/bin/sh" is not the same as
"init=/bin/sh"
