Bug 67346 – After updating to baselayout 1.10.4 I am unable to reboot the system cleanly or, boot it properly.

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Dieter 2004-10-13 00:59:13 UTC]

I merged baselayout 1.10.4 so that i could use gensplash and then i was unable to halt, reboot, shutdown, or boot into my system. I had to use the livecd to downgrade to my previous version of baselayout.

localhost root # ls -l /sbin/shutdown
ls: /sbin/shutdown: No such file or directory

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge baselayout
2.etc-update
3.reboot

Actual Results:  
localhost root # reboot
bash: reboot: command not found

Additionally when I hit the power button and turn it back on, After the kernel 
detects all my hardware init is not executed, instead it just drops me into a 
root shell.

Expected Results:  
Installed proper tools for booting ect.

And keep in mind i used ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 when i merged baselayout.

[Comment 1 SpanKY 2004-10-13 06:08:40 UTC]

you're running a stable system but tried an unstable baselayout

that baselayout no longer includes sysvinit with it ... sounds like you didnt emerge sysvinit which provides shutdown/init/reboot/etc...

[Comment 2 Dieter 2004-10-13 13:53:03 UTC]

OK, merging an unstable baselayout (that did not exist last night) fixed the issue. 

However the 1.9 series of baselayout included sysvinit with it.
