Description Arcady Genkin (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-03-06 07:39:02 UTC 
It looks like (at least in some cases), the /tmp cleaning part of `bootmisc'
script tries (and fails) to execute because / is still mounted read-only.  I
noticed this when one large partition was being fsck-ed (in direct meaning ;)
after the computer went down because of a power outage.  The error message I saw
said something to the effect that "rm: /tmp/somefile(s): Read-only file system",
or some such.  /tmp shares the same partition with / on my desktop.

did you update all your scripts in /etc/init.d after merging the new baselayout?
Comment 2 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-03-10 16:17:41 UTC 
Going to put this to "works for me", as we do not get responce.
Comment 3 Arcady Genkin (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-03-10 16:21:56 UTC 
Oh, sorry, I thought that I replied...  Anyhow, my answer was that I have not
yet merged the new baselayout.  Maybe I should do that first...
