If you're just looking for the quickest way to get going, rerun 'setup.exe'
and install the default set of packages.  Then rerun it and install whatever
else you want.

If you want to help determine why this is happening so that it can be fixed,
you could try grabbing 'strace' from another Cygwin installation and 
attaching to the 'bash' process that's running 'sysvinit.sh'.  If you can
get an idea of where it's going wrong from this output, it may give some
insight into the solution.


>One more question... Where can I get old setup.exe???


Google for "Cygwin Time Machine".  And going in this direction, you are 
completely on your own.
