Looking at the current version of the init script, it's clear
what the problem is ...

     check_finished && break

     udevsettle

     check_finished && break

The above statement will always be true on a single core
system, so the following code never gets executed.

     if [ -f $hookdir/initqueue/work ]; then
         rm $hookdir/initqueue/work
     fi

     for job in $hookdir/initqueue/*.sh; do
         [ -e "$job" ] || break
         job=$job . $job
         check_finished && break 2
     done
