Recently i made nice emerge world, and few days later my power went down, i had to reboot my gentoo workstation, and damn, it hang on Mounting /proc part, i've i'm getting same thing with no matter what kernel i use, testted with 2.6.0-test3, 2.6.0-test6, 2.4.20, 2.4.22 I though there was problem in my /etc/fstab, but it looks clean: # NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts. /dev/hda6 / auto noatime 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 And i was thinking that devfsd.conf had problem, but it's also clean its pretty long so i put it here http://dharik.com/devfsd.conf Thank you, hope this helps Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: Doesn't bootup Expected Results: Must bootup
First of all, devfsd is for /dev not /proc. What does ls -l / | grep proc show you? Could you provide the output of emerge info? -- Markus
could this be bug #29833 ?
Daniel please see comment #1
Can we see your entire fstab? After the emerge world did you run etc-update and update _all_ config files? Also the output of the command in comment #1 would help as well.
I had the same problem after downgrading my system. Somehow the directory /proc had been removed (see comment #1). After creating the directory the system boots.
indeed i didnt have /proc will do a reboot now

Daniel did you get a chance to restart yet? Is this still an issue?
same thing after restart :(
Try to add to kernel parameters: gentoo=noudev
on my pc too! used gentoo live cd to start and then chroot to get it work. i get following error on mount: mount: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.3.3' not found (required by mount) i don't have glidc-2.3.3 - i got sys-libs/glibc-2.3.2-r1.. don't know what to do - please help!
Sounds like you had glibc-2.3.2-r6+ to build the system, and it then reverted to -r1 .... Know what might have caused this so that we might try and fix/track it ? Any chance to post your /var/log/emerge.log ?
getting back to the original bug report here ... can we please have the init scripts go 'OMG YOU HAVE NO /PROC' and then either create /proc (would require remounting / ...) or presenting the user with one of those 'please hit ctrl + d for normal boot or give root pw for maintance' msgs ... i just rebooted and forgot to create /proc and all i saw was the init scripts sitting there with 'mounting proc on /proc' and that was it
Well, it should, as it uses 'try mount' that will print the failing of mounting /proc, but for some reason this never gets printed ...
I had the same thing. It may have been caused in my case by a reboot the following morning before an emerge -u world was finished. Turns out that mount was expecting libraries that had not been built. glibc_2.3.3 not found. Copied mount from a knoppix cd (which used the old libraries), and things are behaving better.
Same problem here. I double checked /etc/fstab. /proc directory was missing. So I created a new one and emerged baselayout again. Any ideas how to fix this?
I have exactly the same problem after a fresh install (troublesome with dependencies on openssl and perl for the sources)... I tried gentoo-sources and vanilla-sources. There is an entry for proc in /etc/fstab. And I have a proc directory...
I have this problem too. System hangs at the "Mounting proc at /proc..." line. Hitting CTRL-D at this point causes the system to reset. I really don't feel like this has anything to do with devfs, and firmly believe it has to do with glibc, which if I remember correctly, had recently finished recompiling when I did emerge -u world. When I boot a livecd and chroot into my box and type 'mount' I get this: mount: /lib/libc.so.6: version 'GLIBC_2.3.3' not found (required by mount) Not sure how to fix. I'm going to try recompiling util-linux and maybe glibc. -rgm
Same problem here. I tried to rebuild util-linux and glibc, but that failed. Temporary fix is to copy an old mount to /usr/bin.
sounds like issues with util-linux/glibc being out of sync fix those and if this still happens, re-open
I have this problem. Currently trying to fix with an emerge -uDN world while chrooted.
