 |
|
I have a really strange problem:
My localhost is not reachable during boot. Services like cupds starts and bind to localhost, but other service cannot reach them (e.g. samba (smbd) tries to connect to cups on localhost:631).
If I using interactive boot and exit to a shell, I also cannot reach localhost. There is no answer, not even a RST ("Connection Refused").
This is extremely annoying as booting now takes up to 10 minutes with all the services (samba, nfs, mysql) waiting until a timeout occurs.
When booting finishes, everything gets alright, localhost IS reachable then...?!?!
WTF?,

i have the same problem
this services don't start @ boottime
samba, vmware, cupsd, portmap, famd, idmapd, nfs, nfsmount, netmount ,ntpd, vixie-cron & local
if i skip the services in interactive boot mode and start them from hand there are no problems :/

I'm using ~x86 so baselayout 1.12 is already installed. |

/etc/networks

# /etc/networks

# This file describes a number of netname-to-adress

Make sure your IPTABLES rules have a default policy of ACCEPT for both your INPUT and OUTPUT chains during boot for the device "lo".

Basically, try setting RC_PARALLEL_STARTUP="yes" in /etc/conf.d/rc as that's been reported to fix it.
I'm at a total loss as to why this happens - and even with some users entire /etc folder on my machines I cannot replicate the issue 
BTW, this is the last big stopper before we can consider making 1.12.0 stable, so if anyone comes up with a fix that isn't enabling parallel startup then let me know!

/etc/networks on my my three machines say:
it's setting up the network, not just the host.
don't know if this is the sole cause of your problem, but worth looking into.

Ok, with RC_PARALLEL_STARTUP everything works fine 
Uh.. almost everything, a init-skript that expects user-input (a passphrase to mount a dm-crypt partition), doesn't work with parallel startup. Is there any way to let this script prompt for user input? |

We are aware of that - it's not parallel startup that causes that, but our new interactive boot process as both are fighting for the keyboard.
