 |
|
My iBook today doesn't boot correctly. It stops immediately after (or during, I don't know) the Setting clock init script.
I can only do a CTRL+C, insert my root password and try to make something to correct the problem.
My problem is that I don't know what's stopping my iBook booting process!
dmesg and /var/log/everything/current says nothing, where can I get more informations?
What init scripts comes after the Clock one?
I can't use my iBook, this is a bad problem for me. So, thanks in advance!

Read the documentation on init scripts to find out the order in which the scripts are run on your system:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2&chap=4
Then, try using trial-and-error by adding/removing init scripts to see which one is causing the problem. If needed, you can add your own debug messages to the init scripts to see where exactly it is failing.
There's my 2 cents... |

Is there a way to know what's the last init script executed? Or the order of initscripts?
I've read the documentation, but I cannot disable all my init scripts at random (i have a very few and important ones)....
Is it possible that I don't have nothing on my log files? I use metalog, is there a better solution?

I have found this:
| Code: | abook ~ # rc-status
* Could not local current runlevel in /var/lib/init.d/softlevel
* Assuming current runrevel is 'single'
find: warning: you have specified the -maxdepth option after a non-option argument -type, but options are not positional (-maxdepth affects tests specified before it as well as those specified after it). Please specify options before other arguments.
Runlevel: single |
Is it useful?
