I'll revert to my working Alpha 4 setup and do a clean install when I have the time to do it properly. Thanks for your help anyway, it was greatly appreciated

So far so good so I skipped and now this issues. I have such feeling that the wheezy 7.2 updates released two / three days ago (updating initscripts / rc-sysv / and others have put back some scripts Beta1X was disabling. The shutdown problem is caused by duplicated dbus script in sysv init.d directory. Beta1X update has just disabled it, but it should have been removed. After that even initscripts new package won't install it back.

Only during development of beta2 I found a final solution to it. I'm no quite happy about it as this will be mass issue reporting as I'm almost sure it is not you local problem.

If you already reverted then skip this, if not check that it was Beta1.1 installed (Beta1 had new replacement for dbus sysvinit script yet but Beta1.1 did) and them simply do "rm -fr /etc/init.d/dbus". This will solve the reboot issue.

This latest Debian update is reason more to release Beta2 as Beta1X is no longer updated and even there si no easy way to release a hotfix (as reaction to the latest system updates).

Dbus not starting and Avahi-Daemon is known issue as well, for this I sent you link for easy correction. But you would be first to report problem with SSH not starting.

But thanks for reports !
