Description of problem:
When I first installed (fresh) RH 7.1 directly from CD /etc/inittab was 
read properly.  But when I updated my system from RHN /etc/inittab was not 
read at all during bootup & kill -HUP 1 & init q.  Looks like /etc/rc.d/rc 
works but mingetty does not appear when I do ps auxw.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Reboot many times
2. Tried to insert TT:123456:respawn:sleep 60 into /etc/inittab and do 
kill -HUP 1
3. ps auxw
	

Actual Results:  ps auxw doesn't show any mingetty and new entries 
in /etc/inittab.  To be specific, I need svscan to run for every 
reboot/system startup.

Expected Results:  All default entries in /etc/inittab and newly inserted 
entries should work when reboot & kill -HUP 1 & init q.
