1 G'day,
2
3 I've been running baselayout-2 for several months and it's been working
4 fine AFAICT. Over the weekend I noticed that my USB thumb drive is no
5 longer automounting.
6
7 This evening I ran "/etc/init.d/udev status" which reported:
8
9 * status: stopped".
10
11 Running "/etc/init.d/udev start" reported:
12
13 * The udev init-script is written for baselayout-2!
14 * Please do not use it with baselayout-1!.
15 * ERROR: udev failed to start
16
17 The message occurs because /etc/init.d/udev checks for
18 /etc/init.d/sysfs, which is not present.
19
20 Googling indicates that /etc/init.d/sysf comes from sys-apps/openrc. I
21 have openrc-0.3.0-r1 installed (from long ago). openrc-0.6.0-r1 is
22 available, though keyworded ~amd64. Unmasking it and running "emerge
23 -p ..." shows that sysvinit is a blocker.
24
25 Is it safe to delete sysvinit and emerge openrc-0.6.0-r1? Am I likely
26 to get myself into troubleif I do this? If so, how much and how deep?
27
28 Regards,
29
