Bug 146268 – Netmount cannot start

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Kim Pedersen 2006-09-04 07:38:21 UTC]

After performing a new 2006.1 install I get the following message:

"Cannot start netmount as net.eth0 could not start"

during the the init stripts startup.

I have installet kde with xdm added to the default runlevel.
Note that my net.eth0 afterwards starts and I can use net with no problem.

Any ideas

My rc-update output:

Please attach your /etc/conf.d/net and /etc/conf.d/rc files.

I'm seeing this as well with an existing install.  So it's a recent change in something.

Portmap, netmount, kdm, and syslog-ng all startup before eth0.

I get the same thing, fresh Gentoo 2006.1 (networked) install.

My rc-update output:

            netmount |      default                  
           rmnologin | boot

          vixie-cron |      default                  
                 xdm |      default          

conf.d/net and rc are untouched.

Could this be caused by bug#143928 ?

I'm suffering from this one too. I have to do a console login, stop xdm, start each of the failed services by hand (netmount, ypbind, and autofs), and then I start xdm again so I can log into X as an NIS user.

I've tried adding "need net.lo" to /etc/init.d/portmap, thinking lo was not quite up. No help. I also tried lengthening the "sleep 1" in the portmap rc script to three seconds, thinking it needed more time to become responsive, but that didn't help either.

By the time I reach the console command prompt, portmap is running. The services that depend on it are able to start without a problem.

same problem.

[Comment 8 Roy Marples (RETIRED) 2007-01-10 12:22:53 UTC]

This should be fixed in baselayout-1.13.0_alpha11. Re-open if you disagree.
