First of all, devfsd is for /dev not /proc. What does ls -l / | grep proc show you? Could you provide the output of emerge info? -- Markus could this be bug #29833 ? Daniel please see comment #1 Can we see your entire fstab? After the emerge world did you run etc-update and update _all_ config files? Also the output of the command in comment #1 would help as well. I had the same problem after downgrading my system. Somehow the directory /proc had been removed (see comment #1). After creating the directory the system boots. indeed i didnt have /proc will do a reboot now Portage 2.0.49-r7 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.2, glibc-2.3.2-r1, 2.6.0-test6) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.0-test6 i686 distcc 2.11 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled]ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=i686 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/share/config /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=i686 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="sandbox ccache autoaddcvs" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 oss apm avi crypt cups encode foomaticdb gif jpeg libg++ mad mikmod mpeg ncurses nls pdflib png quicktime spell truetype xml2 xmms xv zlib gtkhtml gdbm berkdb slang readline arts tetex bonobo svga tcltk java guile mysql X sdl gpm tcpd pam libwww ssl perl python esd imlib oggvorbis gnome gtk qt kde motif opengl mozilla cdr" Reassigning to bug-wrangling.

Daniel did you get a chance to restart yet? Is this still an issue? same thing after restart :( Try to add to kernel parameters: gentoo=noudev on my pc too! used gentoo live cd to start and then chroot to get it work. i get following error on mount: mount: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.3.3' not found (required by mount) i don't have glidc-2.3.3 - i got sys-libs/glibc-2.3.2-r1.. don't know what to do - please help! Sounds like you had glibc-2.3.2-r6+ to build the system, and it then reverted to -r1 .... Know what might have caused this so that we might try and fix/track it ? Any chance to post your /var/log/emerge.log ? getting back to the original bug report here ... can we please have the init scripts go 'OMG YOU HAVE NO /PROC' and then either create /proc (would require remounting / ...) or presenting the user with one of those 'please hit ctrl + d for normal boot or give root pw for maintance' msgs ... i just rebooted and forgot to create /proc and all i saw was the init scripts sitting there with 'mounting proc on /proc' and that was it Well, it should, as it uses 'try mount' that will print the failing of mounting /proc, but for some reason this never gets printed ... I had the same thing. It may have been caused in my case by a reboot the following morning before an emerge -u world was finished. Turns out that mount was expecting libraries that had not been built. glibc_2.3.3 not found. Copied mount from a knoppix cd (which used the old libraries), and things are behaving better. Same problem here. I double checked /etc/fstab. /proc directory was missing. So I created a new one and emerged baselayout again. Any ideas how to fix this? I have exactly the same problem after a fresh install (troublesome with dependencies on openssl and perl for the sources)... I tried gentoo-sources and vanilla-sources. There is an entry for proc in /etc/fstab. And I have a proc directory... I have this problem too. System hangs at the "Mounting proc at /proc..." line. Hitting CTRL-D at this point causes the system to reset. I really don't feel like this has anything to do with devfs, and firmly believe it has to do with glibc, which if I remember correctly, had recently finished recompiling when I did emerge -u world. When I boot a livecd and chroot into my box and type 'mount' I get this: mount: /lib/libc.so.6: version 'GLIBC_2.3.3' not found (required by mount) Not sure how to fix. I'm going to try recompiling util-linux and maybe glibc. -rgm Same problem here. I tried to rebuild util-linux and glibc, but that failed. Temporary fix is to copy an old mount to /usr/bin. sounds like issues with util-linux/glibc being out of sync fix those and if this still happens, re-open I have this problem. Currently trying to fix with an emerge -uDN world while chrooted. |
