[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#701031: initscripts: /lib/init/vars.sh stops processing the kernel command line after first recognized option

[Raphaël Hertzog]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.88dsf-41
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

/lib/init/vars.sh incorrectly uses "break" at the end of each "case"
statement (probably by mistake because break is required in C's switch
statement) which means that the loop on all parameters stops as soon
as either "quiet" or "noswap" is found. This obviously means that
setting both at the same time doesn't work currently...

Please apply this patch:
