Hi |

Around 8 to 10 months I've left a server without updates, and now, after |
| 4 |
also building a new kernel, emerging new gcc, glibc, re-emerging baselayout, |
| 5 |
sysvinit and all packages that contains something in /etc/init.d/ , the boot |
| 6 |
process hangs after a few of the scripts (normally at keymaps or |
| 7 |
consolefont) returns their "ok" message. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
If I use the option to key in an "i" for interactive boot and skip all |
| 10 |
remaining services, I get a login prompt on TTY1 through TTY6 as expected, |
| 11 |
and if I issue every script on the boot and default rc-levels, everything |
| 12 |
works fine (well, one or two of them complain about something specific, but |
| 13 |
the important thing is that it doesn't hang at all). |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Any ideas? The server is up and running (apache, ssh, samba, svn, mysql, |
| 16 |
ftp, nfs, distcc, etc.) so I'm not in a hurry. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
I'm thinking on unmerging sysvinit and baselayout just to make sure there is |
| 19 |
no garbage left, then re-emerging them. |

Thanks |
