Hi, Gentoo! |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I finally built 3.10.17 a couple of weeks back, and have spent many |
| 4 |
hours, fruitlessly, trying to get a handle on the following problem. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I boot with 3.10.17 and the services fail to start. Everything is fine |
| 7 |
with 3.8.13. My system is an amd-64 stable, with /usr on the root |
| 8 |
partition, udev is the device manager, and there is no initramfs. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
My evidence for this failure comes from "$ rc config show -all": every |
| 11 |
visible service is marked as being "[stopped]". If I try "$ rc config |
| 12 |
start <service-name>", I get told something like "service is already |
| 13 |
starting". The same happens with "$ rc config restart". |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
I'm also missing messages from OpenRC. I see only these: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Mounting /proc |
| 18 |
Mounting /run |
| 19 |
/run/openrc: creating directory |
| 20 |
/run/lock: creating directory |
| 21 |
/run/lock: correcting owner |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Enter runlevel: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
. The first message I expect, but don't see (after the "correcting |
| 26 |
owner" one) is: |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Using /dev mounted from kernel |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
. (By the way, are OpenRC messages written to a log anywhere?) To the |
| 31 |
"Enter runlevel: " prompt, I type "3", and OpenRC instantly displays the |
| 32 |
login prompt (rather than after starting the "default" services). |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
I can log in as root. /dev exists, pretty much as normal, except the |
| 35 |
device-mapper devices used by lvm are missing. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Either I've made a mistake configuring my kernel, or there's some new |
| 38 |
piece of configuration needed which I've somehow missed hearing about. |
| 39 |
I suppose I really ought to include my kernel config here, but I'll |
| 40 |
not, at least not yet, since it's 2737 lines long. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Please help me sort out this bug. Thanks! |
