[Description Claudiu 2006-08-15 10:27:38 UTC]

I try to start postfix or ssh and everytime is printing this error:

*ERROR: cannot run until sysinit completes

What to do?

[Comment 1 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2006-08-15 10:47:43 UTC]

Reopen with emerge --info.

[Comment 2 Claudiu 2006-08-15 11:22:03 UTC]

I can't post emerge --info, the text is to long for me to copy from there.
I can't ssh into that system because sshd it wont start. It print the same error.

Well sorry, we can't guess. Reopen when ready.

Hmmm, your baselayout is a bit outdated...

[Comment 6 Claudiu 2006-08-15 12:52:14 UTC]

 How can I update?
What commands?

nobody now's how to fix my problem?

[Comment 9 SpanKY 2006-08-20 00:45:04 UTC]

something is broken with the booting of your system

you're getting that error because /dev/.rcsysinit still exists and was not properly removed from your system
