 Posted: Sun Oct 10, 2004 7:46 pm Post subject: init and RunLevel trouble [SOLVED] |
 |
|
The other day I updated my Grub and compiled a new kernel (to get my touchpd to work), but now my runlevel seems to be messed up.
My internet doesn't come up unless I manually go: /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start.
Xdm will not start automically either.
I'm starting into runlevel of 3
rc-status output
| Code: |
Runlevel: default
local [ started ]
netmount [ started ]
domainname [ off ]
net.eth0 [ started ]
syslog-ng [ started ]
vixie-cron [ off ]
alps-detect [ off ]
xdm [ off ]
|
The only reason net.eth0 is started is b/c i did it manually!
My Default Runlevel directory lists:
| Code: |
bash-2.05b# ls /etc/runlevels/default/
alps-detect domainname local net.eth0 netmount syslog-ng vixie-cron xdm
|
The only thing I have left is my inittab which I have not touched but here it is (in case this helps):
| Code: |
bash-2.05b# more /etc/inittab
#
# /etc/inittab: This file describes how the INIT process should set up
# the system in a certain run-level.

runlevel shows I am in 3:
| Code: |
bash-2.05b# runlevel
N 3
|
As you can see everything that needs to be added to the default runlevel is. Does anyone know what this could be?

In gentoo, the numeric runlevels aren't actually used; gentoo maps them to names (like 'default') and then uses the rc-update program to change them.
What does
| Code: |
% rc-update show default
|
show you?
If you need to add something (net.eth0, say) to your default runlevel, do
| Code: |
% rc-update add net.eth0 default

I've tried re-adding it but it says it is already installed.
rc-update show default shows that everything is correct:
| Code: |
bash-2.05b# rc-update show default
alps-detect | default
alsasound |
bootmisc |
checkfs |
checkroot |
clock |
consolefont |
cpufreqd |
crypto-loop |
domainname | default
esound |
famd |
gpm |
hdparm |
hostname |
keymaps |
local | default
localmount |
modules |
net.eth0 | default
net.lo |
netmount | default
nscd |
numlock |
portmap |
rmnologin |
rsyncd |
serial |
sshd |
syndaemon |
syndaemon.merged |
syslog-ng | default
urandom |
vixie-cron | default
xdm | default
xfs |
|
Is it possible that I'm not really starting the default runlevel? At boot up it says something about doing default (init 3), but it only gets my mouse and alsa working... nothing else. |

Does it try to start them?
"Tried and failed" is a different problem than "never tries to run them at all", and I'm not sure which one we're looking at.

It's not trying (as far as I know). Before I get to the login screen all it states is that it's loading the mouse and alps (this is the text after it states default runlevel(3)). Then i get the prompt.
It never states "bringing up network" or anything similar and everything it does bring up succeeds, nothing fails. |

Then I haven't got a clue what's going on...

Okay...
So it turns out NONE of my DEFAULT run scripts are running! So... what controls that? I thought it was the inittab (but if you look above it should be correct).
I hope that offers new light.
Oh yeah, and at boot it just says entering level 3, nothing about running default.
EDIT:
This is the exact printout I get after I enter "level 3"
| Code: |
bash-2.05b# /sbin/rc
alps-detect: detecting touchpad...
alps-detect: removing psmouse (1)
alps-detect: adding psmouse (1)
alps-detect: mouse detected!
Terminated
|
I'm not sure about the Terminated line off-hand, that might be b/c of how I just ran that. |

SOLVED:
OK so i figured it out! This is what it was. The alps-detect was apparently new as well and that script has a line at the very end like:
This line is different then my other scripts that end with:
or something else. This leads me to believe END tells the runlevel to finish. ANyways I didn't need alps-detect (I'm not sure if it is b/c i use synaptics or not, but either way my touchpad still works). So i just did a rc-update del alps-detect default.
I'm very excited now. Hope this helps anyone else who ever runs into the problem.[/b] |
