[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#584690: killprocs: kills root filesystem failing to reboot

[Michal Suchanek <hramrach@centrum.cz>]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.88dsf-5
Severity: normal
File: killprocs


When the root filesystem requires a process to work and killprocs kills
that process the system ay fail to reboot because it is unable to read
the reboot executable.

For me

sudo reboot

works fine but pressing Ctrl+Alt+del gives root shell instead of
rebooting while running debian-live off httpfs.
