I've had tried to install 1.8.6.8, but after that cupsd failed with dependecies errors and no network device is started (eth0, ppp0 lo). No log message, no console message, no error message, nothing, but ifconfig shows no device. I think the problem is the changed network init scripts (/etc/init.d/net.ppp0, /etc/init.d/net.eth0 aso.) Wenting back to 1.8.6.7 and all works smooth again. Using: gcc 3.2.3 Kernel 2.4.20-gentoo-r5 BCM5702 Gigabit-Lan-Card (configured as eth0) AVM Fritz!Card Controller (configured as ppp0) Loopback Device (configured as lo)
I am having the same problem. Exact same thing... may be you should mask this before people start rebooting their machines ;) Spundun
Did you run etc-update? A lot of files changed w/ this baselayout. Also, if you could record some of the error messages (you can always let the machine come up and start net.eth0 by hand if necessary) that would be extremely helpful. I've been running the new baselayout on several machines w/ no problems, so we need to figure out what's different about your system to cause these problems so that we can solve them. Thanks!
Yes I did etc-update(ofcourse :) ) But no, the etc-update doesnt show a lot of updates in etc... only 4. And I let all of them commit without me making any changes. I also tried to do /etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart manually. This returns immediately without *any* info..... not even the standard "Bringing up eth0". ifconfig doesnt show any interface.. not even the standardloopback lo. If you think I could get more info by reinstalling baselayout and rebooting... lemme know... I tried this twice with the same result... Spundun
I experience the same problem. There seems to be no solution to it other than to revert to an older version unless there are debugging messages available. Ciao ST Lim
Latest in, I've managed to add the marker -x to /sbin/runscript.sh, and I've attached the result for running net.eth0. Attached as running.
Having upgraded to 1.8.6.8 I can verify that it riddled my computer with problems. Since dmesg is not particularly helpful in providing error logs I used images to capture the boot process. http://dhruba.codewordt.co.uk/images/baselayout-1.8.6.7.png (working perfectly) http://dhruba.codewordt.co.uk/images/baselayout-1.8.6.8.png (several problems) Specifically, I had problems with bootsplash, network interface eth0 (nfs), local, rebooting and browser crashes which I never usually get. Rebooting the computer made the computer pause indefinitely. After downgrading to 1.8.6.7 all worked perfectly. It may be an idea to hardmask this package for the time being before such problems begin afflicting the majority of ~x86 users and bringing their network down too. $ emerge info Portage 2.0.48 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.3, glibc-2.3.2-r1) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.20-gentoo-r5 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.66GHz GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://194.83.57.15/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/ http://194.83.57.11/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/ http://194.83.57.7/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/ http://194.83.57.3/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/3.1/share/config /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" USE="x86 3dnow avi cups encode gif jpeg mmx mpeg ncurses pdflib png quicktime truetype xml2 xmms xv zlib directfb alsa slang readline aalib svga java X sdl tcpd pam libwww ssl perl python imlib oggvorbis gtk motif opengl mozilla cdr acpi dvd fbcon imap maildir moznocompose moznoirc moznomail moznoxft mozsvg sse tiff usb xml -oss -apm -crypt -libg++ -mikmod -nls -spell -gtkhtml -gdbm -berkdb -arts -tetex -bonobo -tcltk -guile -gpm -esd -gnome -qt -kde" COMPILER="gcc3" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" MAKEOPTS="-j6" AUTOCLEAN="yes" SYNC="rsync://rsync.uk.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" FEATURES="sandbox distcc ccache"

I have the same problem after installing this baselayout.. im going to try a new install and see if the same thing happens.
I have the same problems as Dhruba mentioned(didnt go upto browser crashes though). I did some research from whatever little knowledge I have about rc-scripts. I get the same freaky error about bootsplash and local having circular dependencies(dhruba's screen shot). Then I unmerged bootsplash ... wierdly enough it didnt remove the init.d and conf.d files for bootsplash automatically, so I removed them manuall. I still have the problem and the next most interesting (and the earliest Ithink) difference is that in the boot with the newer baselayout.... you dont see the "Bringing lo up" message. which comes from /etc/init.d/net.lo This is all I could figureout. /var/log/everything/current has these interesting messages ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- May 20 20:43:17 [init] Trying to re-exec init May 20 20:44:32 [init] Switching to runlevel: 6 May 20 20:45:37 [kernel] Linux version 2.4.20 (root@mermaid) (gcc version 3.2.2 20030322 (Gentoo Linux 1.4 3.2.2-r2)) #1 Sat May 10 14:05:29 PDT 2003 May 20 20:45:37 [rc-scripts] Could not get dependency info for "net.eth0"!

I also had the same problem, moving back to baselayout 1.8.6.7 fix my network.
shouldn't baselayout-1.8.6.8 be put in the package.mask since it has such a critical bug in it (this breaks booting on ALOT of systems)
etc-update, said no files to work. net.eth0, net.ppp0, net.lo no output!!!!!!! The only message comes from cupsd: couldn't find dependecies!!!!! But this is a result of not starting eth0 ppp0 and lo! Please mask this ebuild immediately or delete it until the bugs are fixed!!!!
Please try 1.8.6.8-r1.
Looks like -r1 solved it. But the other problem with bootmisc is still there.
this revision caused an UnRecoverableSeekError or something on /dev/hda, i wasnt able to get the exact error msg but it was something pretty serious.
1.8.6.8-r1 has fixed rebooting and eth0 problems but still has the same problem with bootsplash as shown in the 1.8.6.8 screenshot in my previous message (circular dependency).
Yes, because bootsplash deps is just plain wrong, and because 1.8.6.8 have better checking on dependencies, pick it up. local have: after * bootsplash have: after local This cannot be. A better solution (bit kludgy) is to have: local: after * bootsplash: use local Because USE override AFTER, local will start before bootsplash. File a bug or something with the bootsplash maintainer. > ------- Additional Comment #15 From Simon Cooper 2003-05-21 05:51 EST ------- > > this revision caused an UnRecoverableSeekError or something on /dev/hda, i > wasnt able to get the exact error msg but it was something pretty serious. > No offense, but nothing in baselayout can cause that. Check that the disk are not starting to develop bad sectors, or check if you have 'hdparm' starting and that the drive do not have issues with the settings that hdparm apply.
Thank you azarah. I have filed bug 21419 with regard to the bootsplash problem.
Ok, can be closed I think.
