hello I am newbie, and I was asked to report this by fellow gentoo forum member. I updated system, and it had sys-apps/openrc-0.9.8.2 among other updates. after update I etc-update and I replaced all files with new ones, since I did not make changes in those files before (I am keeping an eye only for ssh and apache, and from now on sysfs) I retyped some of boot messages: OpenRC 0.9.8.2 is starting up Gentoo Linux (x86_64) * Mounting /proc ... * WARNING: rc_sys not defined in rc.config. Falling back to automatic detection * Mounting /sys ... * Mounting debug filesystem ... mkdir: cannnot create directory '/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset': No such file or directory mount: mount point /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset does not exist (same for)... /sys/fs/cgroup/ns ... /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu ... /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuacct ... /sys/fs/cgroup/freezer * ERROR: sysfs failed to start *Mounting /dev ... * ERROR: cannot start udev as sysfs would not start ... ... ... * Failed to start system clock ... ... * Checking local filesystems ... fsck.ext3: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/sda3 Possibly non-existent devise? * Operation error ... ... * ERROR: consolefont failed to start Couldn't open /dev/tty2 (...12) ... ... I visited gentoo irc, where I was given instruction to comment lines 101-104 in /etc/init.d/sysfs file. Here is paste: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/541089/ After that system works. I started logging my boot messages today, and I tried to recreate bug, succesfully. Sadly, boot log does not record error messages with original (uncommented lines 101-104) /etc/initd.sysfs, so the only thing from boot messages are lines written above. If it is needed, I could try to retype all boot messages. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. leave original /etc/init.d/sysfs 2. reboot 3. bug Actual Results: I can log in (root and user) but can not start WM. also a lot of services are not working. Expected Results: I am newbie at linux, what can I answer... it should boot up?
