I'm not at the studio ATM so I can't try, but what about the sysvinit package ? It provides /sbin/init, and it was not in your list of 'usual suspects'. And I'm still trying to find out why after reverting kernel, mkinitcpio, udev, etc. to versions known to work I still get those 'new style' boot messages - indicating that something else should be reverted as well to return to the working configuration. -- FA
