After mounting /proc filesystem RC spits the message: rc: unlink `/lib/rc/init.d/failed/alsasound`: Read-only file system After that, the process continues normally and alsasound is actually started. OpenRC version is 0.4.3-r3 and alsa-utils: 1.0.20-r3 Any ideas on what the problem could be?

Can you verify for us that you have no file systems mounted as read only? Attaching to this bug the contents of /etc/fstab might be useful to the maintainers.
Created attachment 200773 [details] /etc/fstab I'm attaching my fstab file. AFAIK i don't have any read-only filesystems.
This has been sitting around for too long. Basesystem: Debug/Close at your leisure.
since openrc mounts a tmpfs for stuff, any errors on the actual disk wont be fixed. if you do (as root obviously): mkdir -p /mnt/tmp mount --bind / /mnt/tmp rm -f /mnt/tmp/lib/rc/init.d/failed/* umount /mnt/tmp i imagine your next reboot will be fine.
