Lastly, if someone could attach a tarball of /lib/rcscripts/console if it fails all the time I'd appreciate it. If it only happens after the first reboot then I can fix that too.

If you erase /lib/rcscripts/console can you then boot successfully? And boot repeatedly? Also, ensure that you have etc-updated the consolefont init script.

Yes I etc-updated all configs of cource ;-)
If I remove /lib/rcscripts/console there is no more gerbage in console, but system cant boot sucsessfuly :-(
Baselayout even cantt try to start any initscripts :-(
Comment 12 Roy Marples (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-05-06 09:31:24 UTC
Well, is there now a readable error or something about why the system cannot boot?
What's the last few lines of text printed to the console?

There is no readable error :-( Baselayout wont start any initscript... only init.sh starts
Last lines is a login prompt ;-)
Comment 14 Dmitry Bilunov 2007-05-07 18:13:33 UTC
Just a presumption: try running echo 2 > /proc/sys/cpu/alignment before running baselayout2 (haven't tried it yet, so i'm not sure, that this helps).

If baselayout cannot start any init scripts then that output is correct.
