I'm pretty sure it's not an OpenRC supplied script generating that error. Sadly, the script name is hidden by a bug fixed in openrc-0.2.3 (hopefully in portage soon). In the meantime, please post the output of grep "setting consoles" /etc/init.d/*
(In reply to comment #1) > I'm pretty sure it's not an OpenRC supplied script generating that error. yes, I had the same feeling, but I didn't know how to debug. Here it goes: bash$ grep "setting consoles" /etc/init.d/* /etc/init.d/unicode: ebegin "setting consoles to UTF-8" bash$ equery b /etc/init.d/unicode [ Searching for file(s) /etc/init.d/unicode in *... ] It looks like I've got this old version of script from wiki: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Make_your_system_use_unicode/utf-8 I'll try to get a new version and see how it goes. Anyway, I know there to dig now. Thanks!
