24 That may be true but until the openrc upgrade, it worked. I emailed the
25 openrc folks and got a reply. He said it works for him which I assume
26 means he can boot to the boot runlevel. If that is true, I have no
27 reason to think it's not, then why does it not work for me? That was
28 the reason I started this thread to begin with. I would like to know
29 why it is not working anymore especially if it is working for the guy
30 that sent me a email that works on openrc. I think his name was Mike.
31 I'm awful with names. :/

33 So, back to my original question, why doesn't it work? I think someone
34 else posted that it didn't work for them either.

36 Since I wasn't getting anywhere, I did the catch all, I ran my favorite
37 little script and am re-emerging everything, just to see if that helps.
38 Don't anyone hold their breath now. lol

40 Still open to ideas tho.
