Windows – How to get a detailed vista bootlog

The error code you mention (1603) seems to be a windows installer error code, there is a kb article about that error at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/834484

Have you tried looking at the event log as Kibbee suggested?

There's also the installation log file for iis7 located at %windir%\iis7.log which should provide more insight about the problem.

Having just crammed up on udev to get USB stick to automount when not running a gui, (and not using autofs.)

1. Yes veronica, udev does run awfully early.

   agent scripts can happily fork off and run after a sleep.

2. udevadm settle might help you out here in addition to checking runlevel.

3. action="Add" is run at boot, not just hotplug.

Whether action="remove" is run at shutdown, now that's a fish of a different colour.
