24 The emerge -e world finished. It still doesn't work like it did a few
25 weeks ago. So, I tried the nonetwork option. That starts about every
26 service except the GUI, my UPS thingy and a couple others. Get this, it
27 even starts the freaking network. Why is it called nonetwork if it
28 starts the network too. Seeing the list of services it started, it
29 didn't miss many.

31 There is something not right here. It appears that openrc or whatever
32 is not working the way it should. The funniest part about this, it
33 worked fine the other day and it works just fine from a console. It
34 just doesn't work right when passed from grub.

36 Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
