Upgrading baselayout from 1.12.1 to baselayout-1.12.4-r{2,3} breaks my system in a major way. Please see the screenshots, one is mine, one somebody elses, see http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-3510819.html#3508596 for original forum posting about the problem: http://chopin.edu.pl/~antoni/kernel_oops.jpg http://www.neucode.org/gallery/d/853-2/hpim0551.jpg What happens is that trying to stop the net.eth1 service (eth1 is my ipw3945) gives my system a kernel panic. The "process metalog" string in the panic dump seems to be non-relevant as the it seems to be entirely random each time and could be "ksoftirqd/1" just as well as any other. Reverting back to baselayout 1.12.1 fixes the problem. This happens both on current stable ipw3945* packages as well as keyword-masked ones. I tried various 2.6.17.* and 2.6.18-rc* vanilla kernels, none helped.

The second screenshot link is for my compy :D I have found that shutting down services in this order works: net.eth1 ipw3945d the rest of the system.
Add this to /etc/conf.d/net.eth1 RC_NEED="ipw3945d"
That seemed to do it.
I'll take care of that when I find some time to fix all pending ipw3945 bugs.
> Add this to /etc/conf.d/net.eth1 > RC_NEED="ipw3945d" This causes errors (about missing ipw3945 service) on my setup. And doesn't even start the card properly. How is it supposed to work? @Ryan Neufeld: > That seemed to do it. Strange. What versions of related packages are you using? No errors upon starting your system up?
I am using the service listed here: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-3351901.html#3351901
Well, that's not a perfectly kosher solution I think. Will stick with baselayout-1.12.1 until this gets resolved properly.
Hey, can I be of any help in solving this bug? I have the hardware so I can test possible solutions and report. This is pretty crucial to me and I'd be willing not to wait indefinitely for a solution.

AFAIK the ebuild doesn't provide an init script or anything like that atm and I don't have the hardware to test.
This should be fixed now with 1.7.22-r2 in portage. Feel free to reopen if the issue isn't fixed for you.
Problem is not solved. The new init script improperly starts the daemon.

No its not fixed. I'm using baselayout 1.12.6 and the kernel panic is still there. Might be a slightly different use case since I'm using wpa_supplication. I've added the line RC_NEED="ipw3945d" to /etc/conf.d/net.eth1 (is this correct?), but it has no effect. I notice that eth1 is stopped before ipw3945. During shutdown: --- * Stopping eth1 * Bringing down eth1 * Stopping dhclient on eth1 ... * Shutting down eth1 ... * Stopping wpa_cli on eth1 * Stopping wpa_supplicant on eth1 * Stopping ipw3945d ... * Stopping Hardware abstraction Layer daemon ... # BUG: unable to handler kernel paging request at virtual address 00010000 blah blah <0>Kernel panic - ...
