Hi, Yesterday I faced a problem when trying to switch to baselayout2/openrc on a machine with lvm and raid.
The scenario: Server has software raid with mdadm and lvm2 and is currently mostly stable amd64. Root partition is on md1 and most other partitions (also /usr, that might matter) on some lvm partitions. I added baselayout, openrc and sysvinit to package.keywords (later also tried with additionally adding lvm2, udev and mdadm, but that didn't change things) and followed the migration guide at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/openrc-migration.xml The system failed on boot. I think that the problem is that for some reason, udev isn't starting correctly. It is in the sysinit runlevel. The interesting part is probably * Populating /dev with ex/bin/sh: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (de_DE.utf-8) * Setting system clock using the hardware clock [UTC] ... Cannot access the Hardware Clock via any known method. Use the --debug option to see the details of our search for an access method. * Failed to set the system clock [ !! ] I get a lot of more failures, raid and lvm isn't starting with errors. The LC_ALL-warnings are polluting everything, but that shouldn't be an issue (?). Any hints on what might be wrong? -- Hanno Böck Blog: http://www.hboeck.de/ GPG: 3DBD3B20 Jabber/Mail: ha...@hboeck.de http://schokokeks.org - professional webhosting
