[gentoo-user] dbus not starting, reboot to be avoided

[Stefan G. Weichinger]

I have a gentoo server with a failed /dev/sda. OS is on RAID1 with a
working /dev/sdb below.

I want to avoid rebooting because I mistrust the GRUB from a former SUSE
installation (in parallel) right now.

For some reason dbus isn't running.

I can't get a correct systemctl behavior right now.

Tried to start the dbus daemon with the line from the service file, but
it doesn't find or create the socket file in /run/dbus

I assume I could create it with mknod, could someone point me at a
working command?

Tried dbus 1.12.16, 1.12.18, unmerged, re-emerged etc

Thanks for some help here.
