A development box of mine runnining on ~arch refuses to boot with the following message: * Mounting devpts at /dev/pts G. Linux requires tmpfs, ramfs or 2 ramdisks + ext3 compiled into the kernel. The init sequence stops here and lets me log-in with a half-booted system. I never had this problem and checking /usr/src/linux/.config and /proc/config.gz reveals that CONFIG_TMPFS is enabled. I also tried an older kernel image I had (2.6.16) with the same result. The baselayout version is 1.13 - which is currently hardmasked (again) - while it had worked for me. I can hardly provide more direct info like exact baselayout version as the box doesnt completly boot and leaves me with an environment-mess. As the kernel does indeed provide working tmpfs support - I can do 'mount -t tmpfs none /bla' - I consider this a baselayout bug.
uhh, you have baselayout-1.13 installed which is masked ... so you had to unmask it yourself post the output of `cat /etc/gentoo-release`
The error you've posted is because you're using bash-3.2 Use baselayout-1.12.6 or baselayout-1.13.0_alpha5-r1 as any other version will give the error you've posted.
as the baselayout version I was running is currently masked I consider this bug closed.
