 Posted: Thu Nov 05, 2009 5:33 pm Post subject: Baselayout upgrade broke my server [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Hi
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=291916
As per that bug, stable x86 baselayout update last night has rendered my router/firewall box un-bootable.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
It uses a wireless adapter to connect to the 'net so even masking the offending version of baselayout and downgrading is non-trivial (but can be done).
I've taken a pic of the boot failure using my phone - where's the best place to upload?

Openrc is masked as ~x86, this is an all x86 hardened server. Baselayout update was to version 1.12.13.
Problem seems to be /dev is almost completely empty, but if I "mount --bind / /mnt/test" like post #2 of the bug report, I can see /mnt/test/dev looks much more complete. All of my /dev/sd* entries are missing though.
Bugzilla post has a bit more info in it now.
Using imageshack unless anyone knows otherwise -

I updated this morning without any problems.
Just rebooted to make sure and it boots fine, udev filling /dev properly
There were 26 ._config* files under /etc that needed to be merged,
and there were a few of them that I discarded, especially in /etc/conf.d
because they got rid of some settings that were proper for my machine.
I always do a diff between the ._config* file and what it is trying to replace.
My system is amd64 mostly stable.
Don't know what to tell you.

I ran etc-update after the baselayout change so I don't think that's the problem. I'm wondering if e.g. udev has to be added to a runlevel to make this work.

This is how my system is, as far as udev
| Code: | udev [ stopped ]
udev-dev-tarball [ stopped ]
udev-mount [ stopped ]
udev-postmount [ started ] |
They are all listed under the UNASSIGNED area

Emptying /proc and /sys on the box in question appears to be the fix.

hi,
had the same error. as suggested in the bugreport, deleting the content of proc and sys solved the problem. i can boot again. i suggest marking this thread as solved, since there is a proper solution. as for the reason itself, the bugreport should remain open.
cheers!
alex
