 Posted: Sun Aug 01, 2010 4:55 am Post subject: Can't boot. devpts being mounted too early? |
 |
|
New user and I attempted to boot a fresh stage3 install, but i get a message telling me | Code: | | devpts is already mounted or /dev/pts is busy |
and then it prompts me for a root password for administration or press Control-D to continue to boot, but i'm not able to type in anything, because whenever i press a button to type the password, a new prompt pops up.. Pressing C-d also makes another prompt pop up.
I don't have devpts in my fstab or anything. I can't find any instances of it. Maybe the kernel's mounting it, but i've already added devtmpfs.mount=0 to the kernel line. I'm using udev if it matters[/code]

try booting with this fstab:

suspecting interference udev vs fstab
if on baselayout2, you should have emerged udev and have udev-postmount in default runlevel and udev in sysinit runlevel |

I tried booting with the new fstab with no luck. The only entries i have are the physical drives and no kernel tmpfs filesystems.
I also looked into the runlevels; in /etc/runlevels/default, i found udev-postmount but not udev. Should i make a symlink to udev or is it normal to have only udev-postmount symlinked? |

| Code: | | rc-update add udev sysinit |
if you don't use baselayout2 the return will tell you there is no sysinit runlevel
if you do have a sysinit runlevel you do use baselayout2 and something went wrong during the setup
use http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/openrc-migration.xml as a checklist to sort it out |

I have no sysinit runlevel, so i'm assuming i'm not on baselayout2. I opted to install baselayout2 but when i did a search of portage using emerge, i was returned with sys-apps/baselayout instead of sys-apps/baselayout-2 like the documentation specified. I have baselayout 1.12.13 installed though.
doing a dispatch-conf right now, it might fix up some things i've missed |

Try booting with these /etc/fstab 's in turn.

Disclaimers: 1. I have no btrfs knowlege 2. I run a monolithic single partition filesystem
this error is often reported when an attempt is made to mount a filesystem from an active directory that is inside that filesystem
example running mount /home from /home/username
subvol=gentoo in UUID=07f00067-8b8f-4ef1-9a47-9c02e25abfe4 / btrfs defaults,compress,subvol=gentoo 1 1 seems to suggest a possibility that the / filesystem is in another btrfs filesystem |

Still not working, even with all the entries commented in fstab. I did the stage3 again, and the same thing is happening.
I will try to set up Gentoo on my desktop in the morning to see if i have more luck than on my macbook 1,1

How can i get udev to stop mounting devpts? I have editted /etc/conf.d/rc and changed the RC_USE_FSTAB variable to yes and RC_DEVICES to static, but udev still attempts to mount devpts |

Same here using dracut for the initrd. Any clues would be appreciated.
[edit]: simple fix, use openrc (in ~amd64).

I've been using dracut also! Perhaps it does something that is Fedora specific.. Anyway, i installed gentoo on my 64bit desktop using my own initramfs to boot into LVM and it works wonderfully. I may have to make a custom initramfs on my macbook as well. Giving it a try now
update:
Okay.. it was the initial ram disk that has been causing problems. I'm using a new one, with a new init script inside of it, and it works fine. Here's some excellent documentation and is also what i used to get my installation to boot |
