VERSION|0.4.7.1|SUBJECT|Eee PC won&#039;t run my startup scripts|CONTENT|I set up autofs to automount a Windows share, but it wouldn&#039;t work after a reboot because autofs was not running on startup!  I couldn&#039;t understand why because I saw it linked to by a file in rc2.d/.  I even tried calling it from /etc/rc.local but rc.local wasn&#039;t getting run on startup either!

Finally, I discovered that my Eee PC runs something called fastinit on startup, not regular init (how do you think it boots so fast?).  Fastinit doesn&#039;t pay attention to what&#039;s in the rc?.d dirs.  To get autofs to run on startup the solution is to add autofs to the /ets/fastservices file.  I wish I had understood that sooner.|CATEGORIES|1,3|DATE|1242578022
