Since this evening, parallel booting is the default in +Debian/unstable for machines where dependency based boot sequencing is +enabled. Apparently the testing of concurrent booting has been wider +than expected, if I am to believe the +input +on debian-devel@, and I concluded to move forward with the feature +now, to give us some time to detect any remaining problems before +Squeeze is frozen. If serious problems are detected, it is simple to +change the default back to sequential boot.

+ +More information about +dependency +based boot sequencing is available from the Debian wiki. It is +currently possible to disable parallel booting by adding this line to +/etc/default/rcS:

+ +
+CONCURRENCY=none
+
+ +

If you report any problems with dependencies in init.d scripts to +the BTS, please usertag the report to get it to show up at +the +list of usertagged bugs related to this.
