You can start with me.  That is what I kept running into is the init thingy failing.  I would reinstall and it would work for a while but would eventually give some sort of error and crap out.  So to answer your question, I can say MYSELF that this EXACT thing has happened.  It also happened on a very popular distro at that.  Mandrake at the time.  It wasn't just once, it was many times.
