One easy thing to try, for debugging, is to cat the sys file immediately before and after the echo/write. Of course, you'll want the system set so no fancy splash screens (or an immediate boot to X) hide the output, but that should really be the default for someone hardcore enough to have chosen Gentoo. I seem to also remember a "quiet-boot" parameter of some sort in /etc/rc.conf or /etc/conf.d/rc, that you may need to turn off if it interferes with debugging. However, it's off by default so unless you turned it on you should be fine. You can also try set -x (or -v) before, and set +x (or +v) after. Those tend to be useful debugging tricks on anything bash script based, as the initscripts are. I generally run the newer baselayout/openrc stuff (and am running it now, thus I don't remember and can't easily check settings like that quite- boot option I mentioned), often while it's still somewhat buggy, and have traced and filed several bugs using tricks like the above to let me know what's going on. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
