I've just installed baselayout-1.11.15-r3 which has been marked stable now. Unfortunately, it breaks the runlevels. Rebooting resulted into the following message: * net.eth0: cannot start until the runlevel boot has completed * net.eth1: cannot start until the runlevel boot has completed Fortunately, the boot continued. Reemerging showed some 'cycle's: Will add the complete emerge log as attachment. # rc-update show * Broken runlevel entry: /etc/runlevels/boot/keymaps * Broken runlevel entry: /etc/runlevels/boot/clock * Broken runlevel entry: /etc/runlevels/boot/domainname * Broken runlevel entry: /etc/runlevels/boot/localmount * Broken runlevel entry: /etc/runlevels/boot/consolefont * Broken runlevel entry: /etc/runlevels/boot/modules * Broken runlevel entry: /etc/runlevels/boot/hostname * Broken runlevel entry: /etc/runlevels/boot/net.lo * Broken runlevel entry: /etc/runlevels/boot/urandom * Broken runlevel entry: /etc/runlevels/boot/checkroot * Broken runlevel entry: /etc/runlevels/boot/rmnologin * Broken runlevel entry: /etc/runlevels/boot/checkfs * Broken runlevel entry: /etc/runlevels/wlan/local * Broken runlevel entry: /etc/runlevels/wlan/netmount * Broken runlevel entry: /etc/runlevels/wired/local * Broken runlevel entry: /etc/runlevels/wired/netmount * Broken runlevel entry: /etc/runlevels/nonetwork/local * Broken runlevel entry: /etc/runlevels/nettest/local * Broken runlevel entry: /etc/runlevels/offline/local apache2 | wired wlan bootmisc | boot checkfs | boot checkroot | boot clock | boot coldplug | boot consolefont | boot cupsd | offline wired wlan dbus | wired wlan distccd | wired wlan domainname | boot gpm | nettest offline wired wlan hostname | boot keymaps | boot local | nettest nonetwork offline wired wlan localmount | boot metalog | nettest offline wired wlan modules | boot mysql | offline wired wlan net.eth0 | nettest wired net.eth1 | wlan net.lo | boot netmount | wired wlan ntp-client | wired wlan ntpd | wired wlan portmap | wired wlan rmnologin | boot rsyncd | wired wlan sshd | wired wlan tomcat-5 | wired wlan urandom | boot vixie-cron | offline wired wlan #

what version of udev/coldplug ?
udev-087-r1 coldplug-20040920-r1 After reemerging them and reemerging baselayout the 'cycle' messages are gone. The runlevel files are linked to non-existing directoriers: # # ls -la /etc/runlevels/boot/ insgesamt 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 424 25. Jun 23:49 . drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 224 3.

Since the timestamps are very old I assume the error was initiated when the system was set up. Question is: Why did these faulty symlinks not produce errors earlier?
yes, those broken symlinks are from the initial install ... we've fixed it since, but a lot of systems out there crop up from time to time
I'm getting this, too, along with at least one other person I've run into, but we don't have the odd symlinks in /etc/runlevels, just the '* net.eth0: cannot start until the runlevel boot has completed' stuff. Explicit fix instructions for we the ignorant? :)
that is a different bug unrelated to this one disable HOLDPLUG/COLDPLUG in /etc/conf.d/rc
