			<description><![CDATA[<p>I found another VPS with the missing inittab on Jessie. It&#039;s still a trap. I&#039;ll post an inittab below, for future reference.</p><div class="codebox"><pre class="vscroll"><code># /etc/inittab: init(8) configuration.

# /etc/init.d executes the S and K scripts upon change
# of runlevel.
#
# Runlevel 0 is halt.
# Runlevel 1 is single-user.
# Runlevels 2-5 are multi-user.
# Runlevel 6 is reboot.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>I recently migrated my second Debian Jessie VPS to Devuan Jessie following the guide here <a href="https://git.devuan.org/dev1fanboy/Upgrade-Install-Devuan/wikis/Upgrade-to-Devuan" rel="nofollow">https://git.devuan.org/dev1fanboy/Upgra … -to-Devuan</a>. The first time I migrated a VPS I did not have any trouble. A few months later, I tried a 2nd VPS and after I reboot, I got an error from the console asking me to Enter Runlevel. No run level entries, from 0 to 5 work.</p><p>In my case the error was due to missing or blank /etc/inittab file. I re-imaged debian jessie to VPS, and checked the default. Sure enough, /etc/inittab was blank. I added one from another Devuan install, and then did the migration again. The migration worked.</p><p>I&#039;m not sure why the hosting company decided to remove /etc/inittab. But after replacing it, the migration to devuan worked.</p>]]></description>
