Using: gentoo kernel 2.6.17.11 with beyond patchset reiser patch 2.6.17-3 reiser4progs 1.0.5
At the end of the gentoo shutdown script is a short function which remounts / as ro. sync; sync sleep 1 ..... # ${x} = / mount -n -o remount,ro "${x}" &>/dev/null On reboot or after a poweroff, root does not mount properly, and after some modules are loaded, there are segfaults when running init scripts. The init scripts prompts for the root password for maintenance. Simply typing exit forces an unmount of / and a reboot. After this, everything is normal. On a normal shutdown, this error cycle begins anew. Something has changed in the gentoo shutdown sequence as this error is new to my system. However, gentoo does not support reiser4 as it is experimental. I wanted to report this. Remount is required since with the halt script running, the root cannot be unmounted. After halt.sh, reboot -idpk is called or shutdown.
