Description Andrej Filipcic 2012-01-26 12:29:26 UTC 
/etc/init.d/sysfs does not check if /sys/fs/cgroup is mounted, and fails to start properly with older kernels. The workaround is to create

$ cat /etc/conf.d/sysfs 
rc_cgroups="NO"

but it would be better if the init script would check for the mountpoint. 
The mount_misc() does check it, but mount_cgroups() does not.

This is fixed in git, commit de5cee2.

Thanks for the report.
