Hi Azarah, I now have a gentoo-1.0 system up and running :) Here are some bugs I found in baselayout/rc-scripts: When I first booted the system, remounting / as read-write failed. Quite certain this is because in /etc/init.d/checkroot you used "mount / -o remount,rw" without the important "-n" option. Thus, mount couldn't write to /etc/mtab, returning a non-zero return value and causing the initscripts to fail. You should use "-n" for *all* mounts that happen before /etc/mtab is writeable. It's the safe thing to do. Generally, then you *replay* all the mounts that happened before root was rw with the -f option so that they get recorded ot /etc/mtab. You could also try a hack of copying /proc/mounts to /etc/mtab right after / is writeable. Note: I didn't have this problem after I dropped to maintenance mode, mounted as rw with the -n option, resumed startup, and rebooted. So it may be specific to the "reboot after the inital install." Next bug: after a shutdown -h now, everything shuts down properly but after it says "System halted." (on the next line), I see "cat: mounts: No such file or directory". I'm guessing you have a umount loop using /proc/mounts. Be sure to break out of the loop if /proc/mounts no longer exists. Other than that, things are working :)
These fixes should be in rc-scripts-1.3.1; closing this bug.
