I'm only seeing messages from my sessions with my working kernel. The |
| 17 |
only partition which ever gets mounted in 3.10.17 is /, and that only |
| 18 |
read only. :-( |

All these three are enabled in the kernel, yes. |

:-( My /var never gets mounted, and even my root partition only gets |
| 45 |
mounted read only. There was a log file at /run/openrc/rc.log, but it |
| 46 |
only contained info about the previous shutdown. |

No, that's just that I don't have a default runlevel set in my |
| 55 |
/etc/inittab. |

My system doesn't use an initramfs. |

They lack any entries generated by the runs with the broken kernel. So |
| 79 |
far, I've not managed to find any useful information. :-( |
