Maybe the initscripts have problems coping with the new layout

SuSE's /sbin/getcfg for one uses libsysfs, which apparently doesn't
follow symlinks (bounces off symlink and does nutty stuff instead). If
any of the boxen you're having troubles with use libsysfs in their init
stuff, that's likely the problem.
If that is what's happening, then the problem is breaking previously
working boxes by changing a userspace API. I don't know exactly which
patch broke it, but reverting all Greg's patches (except USB) from
-mm fixes the issue.
Merely change CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED to be set to yes, and it should
all work just fine. Doesn't anyone read the Kconfig help entries for
new kernel options?
1. This doesn't fix it.
2. Breaking things by default with an option to unbreak them is not
the finest of plans ;-)
