When a livecd searches for its media, there are messy unmount errors that were not there in genkernel-3.4.9_pre6 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. make a livecd using genkernel to make your initrd and kernel 2. boot the live cd 3. watch as it displays errors when finding the livecd media 4. System continues to boot ok after the errors pass and CD works fine. Actual Results: cd to boot without these errors like the previous genkernel. I've believe the code that needs changing in genkernel-3.4.9 is from the findmediamount code in /usr/share/genkernel/generic/initrd.scripts. I think we just need to nullify the output form "umount ${mntdir}" as its currently echoing it to the screen. So changing it to something like this may work: umount ${mntdir} 2>&1 > /dev/null
Maybe you could post those 'messy errors' and emerge --info as required. Reopen then; thanks.
ok, here's what happens on booting the livecd: >> Activating mdev ls: : No such file or directory >> Making tmpfs for /newroot >> Looking for the cdrom >> Attempting to mount media:- /dev/hda umount: Couldn't umount /newroot/mnt/cdrom: Invalid Argument >> Attempting to mount media:- /dev/hda1 umount: Couldn't umount /newroot/mnt/cdrom: Invalid Argument mount: Mounting /dev/hda1 on /newroot/mnt/cdrom failed: Device or resource busy >> Attempting to mount media:- /dev/hda2 umount: Couldn't umount /newroot/mnt/cdrom: Invalid Argument mount: Mounting /dev/hda on /newroot/mnt/cdrom failed: Device or resource busy >> Attempting to mount media:- /dev/hda3 mount: Mounting /dev/hda2 on /newroot/mnt/cdrom failed: Device or resource busy umount: Couldn't umount /newroot/mnt/cdrom: Invalid Argument >> Attempting to mount media:- /dev/hdc umount: Couldn't umount /newroot/mnt/cdrom: Invalid Argument !! Media not found >> No bootable medium found. Waiting for new devices >> Looking for the cdrom >> Attempting to mount media:- /dev/hda mount: Mounting /dev/hda on /newroot/mnt/cdrom failed: Device or resource busy >> Media found on /dev/hda And now it boots ok.

I'm not entirely sure what's going on here. Why can't it mount /dev/hda the first time but it can the second time around? And what's with all the "Invalid argument"?
Okay, I found the cause of this. It's fixed in SVN. Thanks.
that's excellent news, nice work! :-)
Please don't close the bug. We'll close it when we release a new version with the fix.
I just released genkernel 3.4.10_pre1, which has this fix included. Feel free to REOPEN this bug or make a comment if it is not resolved.
cool, thank you :-) I will test later today!
Just installed it and noticed the genkernel script does not have the executable attribute set: ls -al /usr/share/genkernel/genkernel -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11567 Feb 14 12:27 /usr/share/genkernel/genkernel :-)
