I have been using my gentoo box for some time now. The otherday i restarted it and all of a sudden while its booting i get a failed to load some local filing systems and then further down i get failed to load eth0 and all that bullshit.

But when i log in and goto x windows, if i open up a shell and do a /etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart the internet comes up just fine and i can use it.....thus how i can type this page at the moment. what the hell is going on?

Perhaps the partition holding your NIC driver went AWOL? Perhaps you recompiled a kernel and forgot to recompile your NIC driver (if it's 3rd party). Or maybe you're missing a symlink to /etc/init.d/net.eth0 in the boot or default runlevel?

Difficult to say - can you provide any more information?

Failed to load some "local filing systems"? What does that mean? What systems and what errors?

where can i find what those error messages were? I checked dmesg and its not there. I cant scroll up high enough after it finishes booting to see the error.

if this happened when you were booting up, you could post your dmesg and see if we can help you sort out this problem?

I wonder about those messages about failing to load a SCSI controller driver - are you using SCSI disk(s)?

My experience is very limited with SCSI, so I won't be much help here if this is a SCSI problem.

did you compile scsi support into your kernel?
