I created a Live CD based on the instructions at http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=244837&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc a while ago. Mostly, it works just fine; the only problem that I still have is during system halt: When it comes to unmounting file systems, I get a large variety of error messages indicating that /etc/mtab and several lock files could not be written. I then get a request to enter the root password or to press Ctrl-D to resume the boot process (all quoted from memory, since I can't look at the error messages and type my email at the same time). If I press Ctrl-D, the system does in fact reboot. If I leave it alone, the computer will shut down after a few more seconds.
Granted, this is a cosmetic issue more than anything, since I am only dealing with readonly file systems that will not be damaged if they aren't unmounted properly, but if anyone could give me any input on how to avoid those error messages, I would greatly appreciate it.
