First i want to thank you for what you are doing, gentoo linux has really a great bug-squashing rate :) I have encountered the Following problem on both my athlon-xp (x86 - main machine) and an intel-nocona (amd64). When baselayout greater than 1.12.0_pre13 is emerged, the system needs 2 boots to start up normally. On the first boot, it restarts, and then on the second boot everything goes normal. I searched throug /var/log/messages and syslog doesnt seem to get started on the faulty boot. Very werid if you ask me. It is exactly the same on my intel pentium 4 (nocona). Here the "emerge info" on my amd: brot@brotkastn ~ $ emerge info Portage 2.1_pre3-r1 (default-linux/x86/2005.1, gcc-3.4.5, glibc-2.3.6-r2, 2.6.15-ck1 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.15-ck1 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2600+ Gentoo Base System version 1.12.0_pre14 dev-lang/python: 2.3.5-r2, 2.4.2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r3 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O3 -march=athlon-xp -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -fforce-addr -ftracer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=athlon-xp -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -fforce-addr -ftracer -fvisibility-inlines-hidden" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS=" ftp://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/Linux/gentoo ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/mirrors/gentoo" LDFLAGS="-W1,-O1 -W1,--sort-common -s" LINGUAS="de en" MAKEOPTS="-j6" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 3dnow X a52 alsa apm audiofile avi berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 cdr crypt cups curl dlloader dri dts dvb dvd dvdr eds emboss encode exif expat fam ffmpeg flac foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif glut gmp gpm hal idn imagemagick imlib ipv6 jpeg kde kdeenablefinal lcms libg++ libwww logitech-mouse mad mikmod mmx mng motif mp3 mpeg musepack ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nvidia ogg oggvorbis openal openexr opengl oss pam pcre pdflib perl png python qt quicktime readline samba sdl slang spell sse ssl svga tcltk tcpd tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev usb vorbis win32codecs xine xml2 xv xvid zlib elibc_glibc kernel_linux linguas_de linguas_en userland_GNU" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL I hope you can help...
You do you mean it restarts - could you clarify it a little more? Maybe attach a boot log to this bug? Does pre13 work fine?
*where* does it reboot ? in other words, what is the last thing you see before it reboots on you ?

Please post the output of these two commands ls /etc/runlevels/boot cat /etc/runlevels/boot/.critical I think this is a dupe of #117912
