reboot and shutdown stop after unmounting local filesystems with "no more process left in this runlevel" (or similar) Apart from emerge --info: I use hal for easy use of removeable media. Reverting to former bash (masking version 3.2) solved the problems.
Created attachment 99512 [details] emerge --info my emerge --info
Haven't seen that happen, but does cause kde-3.5.5 to fail. Looks like bash-3.2 will be package masked soon. Suggest downgrading. Duplicate of bug 151120
I'm running ~x86 and I have the same problem. Downgrading to bash-3.1_p17 solved the problem For the noob user (like me): downgradgin bash will not solve _immediately_ the problem. You will still experience the error message once. Since the next reboot the issue will disappear
Appears that bash 3.2 is interpreting the /etc/init.d/halt.sh script differently than previous versions; root is being identified as one of the filesystems to unmount, and line 120 is killing all the running processes on /, thus leading to the "INIT: No more processes left in this runlevel" error. You can add -i to the list of arguments for fuser on line 120 and see it trying to shut down the init process and a few others, and say no to allow shutdown to continue normally.
baselayout-1.12.6 works with all bash versions.
This bug seems to have reappeared (albeit intermittently) for baselayout-1.13.0_alpha7-r1. Since that's alpha and masked I'm not going to reopen this bug, just leave a comment letting you know that the problem can still be seen on occasion... 5:)
