You may be right.  When I try to go from init 3 to init 5 I get

Starting monitoring for VG VolGroup:  2 logical volume(s) in volume 
group "VolGroup" monitored
                                                               [ OK ]
Starting system logger
Retrigger failed udev events                   [ OK ]

And then the system appears to 'hang'.

Might this be because of the Beagle file system or because I'm using 
Logical Volumes?
