if you simply do a rc-update add cupsd default, one the next reboot it will give many erros about modules in /dev/* not being found or loaded. A fix can be implemented by modifying the script so it looks like this: depend () { before nfs use net use vmware after metalog } The after metalog is added to line 10 on my script, once this is added no error messages appear and it seems to run normally. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
thx, fixed
this seems to fix the problem for you, but not for everybody, can you please give me the order the services are started with "after metalog" and without?
Ok where here are the differences with after metalog metalog cupsd hotplugging .... Without After metalog cupsd is the first thing to start in init 3 cupsd then alot of erros hotpluggin eth0 portmap fam hdparm metalog ..... My gut is telling me that this is metalog thing, and that other people may not even have metalog installed on their sytem as was the case with this poster http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=69422&highlight= Many thanks for your help with this.

...In continuation of the last post. my other guts are telling me that its either people without devs, without devs mounted at boot, or people who built a modula kernel, but then did not config/compile/install the modules.
