Created attachment 50040 [details] Boot diagnostics, dmesg, relevant files
I should have listed the content of the attachment. It is: 1. Boot diagnostics 2. dmesg 3. ls -l /dev/vcs 4. ls -l /dev/vcc 5. /boot/grub/grub.conf (part) 6. rc-update -s 7. /usr/src/linux/.config
Created attachment 50046 [details, diff] removes the warning for ifconfig static addresses There's also a patch on bug #80174 which addresses the domainname issue Hopefully SpanKY can address the devfs/unlinking issue
Those two patches worked for me - thanks. (I applied them manually, not being sure of the incantation for patch.) There's still the minor problem of swapon being run twice though.
swapon has always been run multiple times, it's just that in the past we always piped the output to /dev/null (boo!) anyways, that is Bug 69162 ... i'll check out the extraneous devfs warnings from keymaps/numlock
all the issues here should be resolved except for those wierd unlink warnings feel free to track them down, but seeing as how they occur only with devfs (and i cant reproduce them on my system when i boot with devfs), and they're non fatal, we'll just ignore them for now ;P
Well, I've just reinstalled my ~amd64 system from scratch, and none of those unlink warnings appear. Maybe it was a transient effect of upgrading through a difficult time.
