Updating inittab is part of my checklist (to remove the tty from /dev/ttyS1) and to verify it is configured for runlevel 3.

Our application opens the syslog and writes a startup message almost immediately, but its entry is missing immediately after boot.  It also writes a copyright notice to stdout, as the first three lines of the program and those normally show up on the console just before the login prompt.

The only mention of runlevel on the boot console says:

   INIT: Entering runlevel: 3

(The one other mention of runlevel comes from reboots and shutdowns, when the syslog shows that we are entering runlevel 6.)

Also, the links in /etc/rcS.d are supposedly started for all runlevels (according to that Debian policy page I referenced earlier), so I'm even more confused as to why my program isn't started when it has a link in /etc/rcS.d  

FWIW, the initial (fastboot?) shows this:

>> TS-BOOTROM - built Oct  9 2008
>> Copyright (c) 2008, Technologic Systems
>> Booting from onboard NAND flash...

(I'm not sure if I've ever had two boards where that date and/or copyright is the same, unless they were shipped the same day, and maybe not even then.)

/etc/issue and /proc/version show (respectively):

Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 \n \l

Linux version 2.6.21-ts d omain) (gcc version 3.4.4 (release) (CodeSourcery ARM 2005q3-2)) #1 PREEMPT Fri Oct 10 10:20:42 MST 2008

I'm wondering if there is some magic string that needs to be in my startup script and I might have gotten too agressive in deleting "unneeded" comments from the skeleton I copied...
