all startup scripts past S30gdm do not execute

[Admin]

Hi there,

I am trying to figure why all my startup scripts past /etc/rc2.d/S30gdm
are not loading?

Looks like X gets fired up and then the following script do not run:

S50avahi-daemon
S50cups
S50NetworkManager
S50pulseaudio
S50rsync
S50saned
S50system-tools-backends
S70bootlogs.sh
S70dns-clean
S70pppd-dns
S89anacron
S89atd
S89cron
S90binfmt-support
S91apache2
S98usplash
S99acpi-support
S99laptop-mode
S99ondemand
S99rc.local
S99rmnologin
S99stop-readahead


here is the S30gdm script
