Whenever I run prelink -afmR, my computer fails when trying to remount filesystems readonly at the next reboot. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.prelink -afmR 2.reboot 3. Actual Results: When the shutdown scripts try to remount filesystems readonly, they say cat: /proc/cmdline: no such file root password for system maintenance, etc. It seems it succeeded in unmounting /proc. If I give the root password at this point, and type "mount", it claims /proc and everything else is still mounted. But umount /dev/hda3 complains that hda3 is not mounted. Also, I can 'ls' in directories on /dev/hda3, and they are there, though /proc is not. When the computer reboots, it says the filesystems were not cleanly unmounted. Expected Results: Should unmount filesystems and reboot normally, I think.

Unknown cause. If it is a problem, don't use prelink
Try using the vanilla kernel, it fixed it for me. The gentoo kernel is bug ridden.
This problem went away at some point. I'm not sure why, but it may have went away when I installed elfutils-0.76. I'm still using gentoo-sources.
