Irqbalance should be called when root filesystem is mounted for r/w. Now it is called whne root fs is mounted as ro, and the pid cannot be created, therefore irqbalance crash during startup. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install irqbalance 2.restart system 3. Expected Results: The call of irqbalance should be moved into step after remounting of / as r/w, (or after mounting of /var fs)
fixed in baselayout-1.11.12
Hmm, from what file is irqbalance being started on boot?! I fail to find the corresponding baselayout file... grepped through /etc and /lib/rcscripts... Anyway, as there's also a kernel feature that does the same, I don't think I need this daemon ;)
grep harder, it's in there if you dont need the userspace app, dont emerge it :P
