Update : The messages about INIT: s0 respawning have gone :) (had to edit
inittab) but still got the lock up after the line
"/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/uk.map.gz". I tried stopping this from
loading by doing this;

# Load the keyboard map.  More maps are in /usr/share/kbd/keymaps.
#if [ -x /usr/bin/loadkeys ]; then
# /usr/bin/loadkeys uk.map
#fi

but it now locks up on "starting system message bus: /usr/bin/dbus-uuidgen
--ensure ; /usr/bin/daemon --system".

Something is causing armedslack to lock up but not sure what!
