Bug 452858 – sys-apps/systemd-197: does not boot (hangs after 'volatile'-something)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Michał Górny 2013-01-18 18:26:06 UTC]

I don't have the time to debug this, so I've just masked the ebuild. Feel free to provide some insight if you know what is happening.

Hmm. Testing it in qemu -nographic, it seems to boot most of the way, but the serial console service times out.

[ TIME ] Timed out waiting for device dev-ttyS0.device.
[DEPEND] Dependency failed for Serial Getty on ttyS0.

Seems we don't install the 99-systemd.rules file.

Thanks, that's a good catch. I missed it since it's in the middle of udev block.

Could someone try booting it with that file? I see floppym's got qemu set up so that's probably nicer than rebooting my work PC ;).

I am able to successfully boot once I install that file in /lib/udev/rules.d.

[Comment 5 Mike Gilbert 2013-01-19 00:09:15 UTC]

Additionally, systemd-197 installs some other udev rules in /usr/lib/udev/rules.d.

These need to be moved to /lib/udev/rules.d since udev-197-r3 ignores the former.

Mike, thanks for all the help. Just committed the fixed patch & ebuild.
