Description Graham Murray 2006-01-16 14:21:48 UTC 
Using baselayout 1.12.0_pre14, -r1 and -r2 the boot process hangs.

It completes ALSA, Sets up Lo, Changes to Runlevel 3, and sets up eth0 including the default root. All of these show [ok]

Then it displays 'Setting DNS Domainname to gmurray.org.uk... [ok]
At this point it hangs and goes no further. There are no error messages, it just stays there. I waited 7 minutes in case something might timeout but it did not. 

As the hang takes place before syslog is started, there are no logs showing this. 
Booting using the install CD and re-emerging baselayout-1.12.0_pre13-r1 (and accepting the config changes) all works again fine.

I notice that with pre13, after eth0 is setup, syslog-ng, iptables and ip6tables are started before the DNS Domainname is set.

Comment 1 Christian Anthon 2006-01-19 02:54:19 UTC 
Same bug here. Boot stops after eth0 in my case. Booting interactively and skipping everything after net.eth0 allows boot-up and the problematic services may be started after login.

Comment 2 Andy Dustman 2006-01-19 08:57:44 UTC 
I've seen this too with syslog-ng. When it happens, runscript has a subprocess that is doing cat /var/lib/init.d/exclusive/syslog-ng, which is a pipe/fifo, and it seems to block forever. Weirdly, if syslog-ng is removed from the runlevel, the system boots as expected, and then syslog-ng can be started. Note that the lockup occurs (for me) after net, but before any initialization messages from syslog-ng (i.e. Starting syslog-ng...).

Should be fixed in baselayout-1.12.0_pre15

Nope still broken altho i have to say 1.12.0_pre14 was working fine on my amd64!

In my case it hangs when it tried to start kdm i first thought that it might be a problem caused by kdm so i booted with nox option but that wasn't the case it still wasn't able to boot. Had to boot with ubuntu-livecd chroot into my system and downgrade to another version to get my system working again...

I changed back to the latest stable version (=sys-apps/baselayout-1.11.14-r2) because almost all baselayout-updates break something and i masked all packages from that version on

Altho i do appreciate your work (and i guess writing something like baselayout in such a way that it works in all possible cases is almost impossible) a bit more testing would be really appreciated from my side especially when it comes to such crucial packages like baselayout... As you can see in my info I'm using a ~amd64-System so it's okey if i have problems with some packages but when it comes to baselayout almost EVERY update makes problems, breaks something...

sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.0_pre15-r1 hangs on my amd64, lastest working version for me is 1.12.0_pre13-r1.  The hang is usualy at the end of starting net.eth0(nothing fancy here, single static IP)

I get the same strange error when merging 
  sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.0_pre15-r1 or
  sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.0_pre15.
My system stops after starting dnsmasq. When I press C-c it kills the portmap daemon and boots fine. I can get around these problems by either removing portmap (rc-update del portmap default) or downgrading to 
  sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.0_pre13-r1
