[Bug 554172] Re: system services not starting at boot

[Scott James Remnant]

Also, let's consider the other effects of this kernel change.  For
example, the following code from the initramfs that actually exec's init
in the first place:

  exec run-init ${rootmnt} ${init} "$@" <${rootmnt}/dev/console
>${rootmnt}/dev/console 2>&1

This opens /dev/console to be bound to init's file descriptors, if the
console has recently been closed, these shell redirects can now fail
with EIO.  That means it's not just init that has to be fixed, it's
every single possible shell out there, including the shells inside
things like busybox?

This is why the kernel can't just push its own lazyness down to
userspace like this.
