Description Someone Else Who Won't Be Here 2009-02-15 16:53:53 UTC

migrating to sys-apps/openrc-0.4.3-r1 stops /sys from mounting during sys init

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. upgrade to sys-apps/openrc-0.4.3-r1 
2. reboot


Actual Results:  
sysfs does not mount at the correct time, preventing other services from starting.  Booting will procede, but it scrolls tons of errors about /sys not being mounted first.

Expected Results:  
normal booting

This happens whether or not parallel startup is enabled in /etc/rc.conf (using baselayout-2).  With parallel start disabled, the errors scroll for less time, but still happen.

A workaround fix to prevent the errors is to rc-update sysfs sysinit.  Once added to sysinit, /sys mounts and and normal booting happens without errors. 

Have not tested to see if this happens on x86, but it seems it would effect that arch too.

sys-apps/baselayout-2.0.0
sys-apps/openrc-0.4.2

Please post your `emerge --info' too.

Same issue, will use same workaround (I haven't tested it yet).
