Description Timothy Stotts 2008-02-20 14:34:19 UTC

When setting RC_PARALLEL="yes", /sbin/runscript encounters a point exception that prevents execution of any of the /etc/init.d/* scripts.

/var/log/rc.log shows pointer messages similar to the following:
*** glibc detected *** /sbin/runscript: free(): invalid pointer: 0x08060b10 ***
*** glibc detected *** /sbin/runscript: free(): invalid pointer: 0x08060b20 ***
*** glibc detected *** /sbin/runscript: free(): invalid pointer: 0x08060b10 ***



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Edit /etc/conf.d/rc
2. Change RC_PARALLEL="no" to RC_PARALLEL="yes"
3. Reboot

Actual Results:  
/sbin/runscript fails to run any init.d scripts properly, and thus the system boots only with / mounted read-only


Expected Results:  
Proper bootup with some parallelization of init.d script execution.

/etc/conf.d/rc settings:

RC_PARALLEL="no"
RC_INTERACTIVE="yes"
RC_VERBOSE="no"
RC_QUIET="no"
RC_DEPEND_STRICT="yes"
RC_HOTPLUG="yes"
RC_COLDPLUG="yes"
RC_PLUG_SERVICES="!*"
RC_FORCE_AUTO="no"
RC_LOGGER="yes"
RC_TTY_NUMBER=12
RC_DOWN_INTERFACE="yes"
RC_DOWN_HARDDISK="yes"
RC_DEVICES="udev"
RC_DEVICE_TARBALL="no"
RC_DMESG_LEVEL="1"

This also happens when baselayout is compiled with CFLAGS='-O2 -pipe -march=i686', so it does not appear to be a CFLAGS issue.

This machine is SMP. (Technically, it is CMP -- dual core, but baselayout would not know the difference.)

This should aleady be fixed in OpenRC

Care to elaborate?  I am new to using baselayout-2 and found very little documentation on-line.

OpenRC (to be renamed?) is like a cross between init-ng and baselayout-1, and will replace baselayout-2 as official gentoo rc eventually?

Comment 5 Timothy Stotts 2008-02-23 18:20:18 UTC

I have switched to baselayout-2 with openrc-9999 from the uberlord dev. overlay.
Thanks.
