Since baselayout-1.11.11-r2 the /sbin/rc script when bootings is started to soon with the error that it can not run in the runlevel boot. A few started services later the runlevel is changed to default (3). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. upgrade baselayout to 1.11.11-r2 2. boot Actual Results: /sbin/rc is started to soon Expected Results: /sbin/rc is started when it is meant to Portage 2.0.51.19 (default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-3.4.3-20050110, glibc-2.3.5-r0, 2.6.12-rc3 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.12-rc3 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1800+ Gentoo Base System version 1.6.11 Python: dev-lang/python-2.3.5 [2.3.5 (#1, Apr 27 2005, 15:44:14)] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5 sys-apps/sandbox: [Not Present] sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.5, 1.7.9-r1, 1.6.3, 1.9.4, 1.4_p6, 1.8.5-r3 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r7 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.16 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/env /usr/kde/3.3/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.surfnet.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/gentoo/ gentoo.nedlinux.nl/" LANG="en_US.utf8" LC_ALL="en_US.utf8" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 3dnow X aalib acpi alsa avi berkdb bitmap-fonts cap cddb cdparanoia cdr cjk crypt cups curl directfb dvd dvdr dvdread emboss encode esd fam fbcon flac foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 imagemagick imlib ipv6 java jpeg libg++ libwww mad mikmod mmx mmxext motif mozilla moznomail mp3 mpeg ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nvidia offensive ogg oggvorbis opengl pam pdflib perl png python quicktime readline samba sdl slang spell sse ssl svga tcpd tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode vorbis xine xml xml2 xmms xprint xv xvid zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CBUILD, CTARGET, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS
O yes, the setting RC_PARALLEL_STARTUP="yes" in /etc/conf.d/rc does not matter. these are the settings in /etc/conf.d/rc: RC_TTY_NUMBER=12 # Set for gensplash RC_PARALLEL_STARTUP="yes" RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING="no" RC_USE_FSTAB="no" RC_DEVICES="auto" RC_DEVICE_TARBALL="no" RC_RETRY_KILL="yes" RC_RETRY_TIMEOUT=1 RC_RETRY_COUNT=5 RC_FAIL_ON_ZOMBIE="no" svcdir="/var/lib/init.d" svcmount="no" svcfstype="tmpfs" svcsize=2048 # end of /etc/conf.d/rc Hope that helps.
try upgrading to baselayout-1.11.12 and make sure you dont have initng installed then post the output you see on the console
I don't use initng, and after some problems with baselayout-1.11.12 the problem still exists. This is a part from the output: * Cleaning /tmp directory ... loadkeys: warning: this map uses Unicode symbols (perhaps you want to do `kbd_mode -u'?) [ ok ] * Setting terminal encoding to UTF-8 ... [ ok ] * Setting user font ... [ ok ] * /sbin/rc: cannot start until the runlevel boot has completed * Starting lo * Bringing up lo ... [ ok ] * Enabling numlock on ttys ... [ ok ] * Initializing random number generator ... [ ok ] INIT: Entering runlevel: 3
After some trial and error I found out that net.eth0 cannot be started while being in the boot runlevel. So a simple rc-update fixed it. Odd though that it started complaining since baselayout-1.11.11-r2. Ah well, I found the problem.
This has been fixed in baselayout-1.11.12-r3
