Indications

Everyone using z90cryp should install this update.

Contraindications

None.

Problem description

/etc/init.d/z90crypt loads the z90crypt module to deal with hardware crypto devices on the S/390. The start script is responsible for creating the special device in /dev. As the init script has no pre-requisites, it is installed as /etc/init.d/S01z90crypt/. Subsequently, the start script runs before the root file-system is mounted read-writable. Since the /dev file is removed on a clean shutdown, this causes problems on boot.
This update modifies the startup script adding Required-Start dependencies on boot.rootfsck and boot.klog.

Solution
