Created attachment 377448 [details] screenshot of minimal iso boot errors Starting with udev-212, udevadm has moved to /bin. livecd-tools' /etc/init.d/firmware has an absolute path to /sbin/udevadm so this service fails, which also prevents services hwsetup, gpm-pre, and autoconfig from starting on our livecds. This is affecting our minimal isos starting with install-amd64-minimal-20140515.iso. I'm not sure of the extent of the "damage" but I believe hwsetup and autoconfig are fairly important.
udevadm moved to /bin many versions ago, but we had /sbin compability symlink in place for an year to give time for packages to migrate current udev -> /bin old udev -> /sbin current eudev -> /sbin, with /bin compat symlink old eudev -> /sbin current systemd -> /usr/bin, no compat symlinks of anykind so fix should be in form of using `type -p` or searching all of /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin so please, don't just change /sbin to /bin to get this bug done with, fix it all the way instead to cover future moves by not hardcoding path :) thanks!

We are dropping the firmware stuff from livecd-tools as it is no longer used: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/livecd-tools.git;a=commitdiff;h=c692089f622e4f89d62987215e8a32cccf54aa8a Thanks for the bug report, but the suggested fix is literally a fix to an unused code block. Releng eliminated the firmware tarball a while ago and now livecd-tools is catching up. I'll close this after a point release of livecd-tools is made to fix this.
Releng is happy with the current state of git and would like a release. I've never done a release for livecd-tools, but I can do it if no one else volunteers.
Since no one else volunteered, I've cut a release of livecd-tools that fixes the issue. Please let myself or releng in general know if there are any issues.
