I've updated my baselayout to the new 1.8.6.7 and everything boot fine without the parallel startup. But when I enable it, the init process freeze at some point. I would be glad to help you debugging this, because I like the idea of a parallel init process, but I don't know exactly how to do it. Is there anything specific that you would like me to test, some services I could remove, or some logs you may need? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -u baselayout 2. dispatch-conf 3. echo 'RC_PARALLEL_STARTUP="yes"' >> /etc/conf.d/rc 4. env-update 5. reboot Actual Results: Here is what I get on a parallel startup: [...] INIT: Entering runlevel: 3 * Starting acpid... [ ok ] * Bringing eth0 up... [ ok ] * Starting cupsd... [ ok ] * Starting portmap... [ ok ] * Starting syslogd, klogd... [ ok ] * Starting fam... [ ok ] * Starting gpm... [ ok ] * Starting fcron... [ ok ] ...and here it does stop, I can't login or anything. Expected Results: Here are the last services started in a non-parallel init: [...] INIT: Entering runlevel: 3 * Starting acpid... [ ok ] * Bringing eth0 up... [ ok ] * Starting cupsd... [ ok ] * Starting portmap... [ ok ] * Starting fam... [ ok ] * Starting syslogd, klogd... [ ok ] * Starting fcron... [ ok ] * Starting gpm...

[ ok ] * Starting local... /dev/dvd: Speed set at 2400 KB/s (16x) [ ok ] ...and here I can login in gdm.

Mail me your /etc/init.d as tarball to my mail addy (azarah at gentoo.org).
Ok, this was an issue with depscan.sh not detecting circular depends. I did fix it, and guess we can close this when the new version is out.
umm isnt a new version out now ? :)
What is funny is that I remember it was fixed less than half an hour after I send the requested init.d tarball :)
Is this okay? Is it usable/stable? if so, i'm gonna put this in my machines right about now!!! please reply! thanks for the good works, gentoo just keeps on rockin'...
Its in 1.8.6.10-r1 that is marked stable some time back.
