I've recently updated several gentoo boxes, on 3 out of 4 I had no |
| 2 |
problem, on the last one (amd64) I had to downgrade udev-146-r1 to 141 |
| 3 |
and baselayout-1.12.13 to 1.12.11.1 to make the system bootable. The |
| 4 |
symptom was that not one init script was executed after kernel load and |
| 5 |
I just got the message "Type root password for maintenance". On gentoo |
| 6 |
bugzilla the problem is know, one solution is to clear /dev or /proc, it |
| 7 |
did not work for me. Since downgrading fixed it, I gave up thinking |
| 8 |
about it. |

Then a couple of days ago I changed the main hard disk of one of the |
| 11 |
amd64 boxes (one with the up-to-date udev/baselayout). I copied the root |
| 12 |
FS to the new HD with 'cp -a', installed grub and switched SATA cables |
| 13 |
so the new disk would be seen as the old root disk. Again no init script |
| 14 |
was executed. I downgraded udev and baselayout and everything is fine again. |

What's up??? udev/baselayout was working fine before the copy to the new |
| 17 |
HD, what happened? Any hints? |
