Hi,
I installed Gentoo from 2006.1 Live-Cd but installation failed while compiling KDE. I finished installation manually (newer KDE-Version from Webserver worked), finally my system (Athlon XP 1700+, 512MB, Nvidia GF420MX) worked. I tried but this failed with the message, coldplug and udev 1.03 block each other. I unmerged coldplug an finished . I used Gentoo-Howto for Udev to finish Udev-Configuration.
This worked perfectly for one week. My Nvidia-Card, KDE, Email, OpenOffice worked better than SUSE ever did (I'm cured from that!). I tried serveral kernels (2.6.18-r4 to 2.6.18-r6) using . I'm not shure why (I know, that this doesn't make it easier), but one day Gentoo didn't start anymore. The init-Process failes:
Status Quo:
- grub finishes
- kernel starts
- init starts, filesystem is mounted and, if necessary, it is checked
- udev starts, takes some seconds an finishes
- filesystem is remounted (read/write)
now the problems start
- message: Skipping /etc/mtab initialization (ro root?)
- all fullowing steps fail with the message "Permission denied" until system stops 2 pages later. The last message is "/sbin/functions.sh: line 200: /usr/bin/logger: Permission denied"
- pushing "return" opens an loop that puts out "/lib/udev/udev_run_udevd failed" and "/lib/...hotplug failed" (waited 10 Min)
What I tried (by entering system using "chroot")
- reinstalled and configured udev (deleted /etc/udev manually)
- reinstalled hotplug
- installed sysutils (seems to have been a dependency once)
- deleted coldplug form rc-update
- reinstalled baselayout
- tried my old kernels (that shure worked) by modifying /boot/grub/grub.conf and buildt new ones an installed them. Made shure hotplug-support is enabled; added kernel options in grub.conf: "gentoo=nodevfs" and "devfs=nomount"
- used the workaround "Unable to open initial console", that creates null- and console-devices, if don't exist.
All my tries didn't change anything. Only unmerging Udev throws a message during init, that udev isn't installed. All other tries didn't change anything.
Now I need your help. Thank You very much.

"/usr/bin/logger" is contained in package "sys-apps/util-linux". Maybe re-emerging this package do the trick.
Cheers,

Hi SinoTech,
Thank You for Your idea, but it didn't help.
I tried it using | Code: | | emerge -av util-linux |
and and , but nothing changed. I still get the old messages when i try to reboot.
It seems to me that it has to be am problem of permissions. Does anyone know, how I could have changed the rights of the filesystem remount-process? All problems start right after remounting the filesystem, but the init wirtes "remounting filesystem read/write". Could there be an "execute" missing in the message?
Thanks a lot.
Willow
