RE: [gentoo-user] [LONG] New baselayout: Errors everywhere!!!
This isn't a cure for your problem. rant Over the several years running gentoo, I've seen more things screwed up by 'emerge baselayout' than I care to remember. I always (and this is no exception) let baselayout age a few months before adapting it. /rant With that machine, I tend to be somewhat conservative, but I was having another problem (as yet unresolved) that I was hoping to repair by simply updating the machine. When the problem with baselayout (and devfs?) came up, I tried rolling back both baselayout and devfs with no luck. ugh. I've been using the machine this way for two days now and see no trouble at all, so I'm just going to wait and hope that a repair comes down the line. -rex -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
RE: [gentoo-user] [LONG] New baselayout: Errors everywhere!!!
Hello! I had just emerged latest stable baselayout-1.8.6.8-r1, did etc-update, carefully updated all 23 files and rebooted. And I received a whole bunch of errors. Please, someone help. Here they are: During boot: * Calculating module dependencies modprobe: Can't locate module /dev/ide/hd/cd modprobe: Can't locate module /dev/ide/host0/cd modprobe: Can't locate module /dev/scsi/host0/cd modprobe: Can't locate module /dev/scsi/host0/generic modprobe: Can't locate module /dev/input Not really a help, but I did the same thing with the same result. They don't seem to hinder operation of the box at all, though, so I was going to be patient and see if updating baselayout in a day or two fixes things. -rex -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Make sure that /etc/modules.autoload had the right modules in it (IE: rtc and ide-scsi based on the errors above) and if it does, try to load them manually with modprobe rtc. If you get errors from that you may need to rebuild your kernel modules with cd /usr/src/linux ; make modules modules_install (assuming that /usr/src/linux points to the current kernel directory). Either that or /etc/init.d/modules isn't being run on start for some reason... are all the other services on the box being started correctly? alan -- Alan [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://arcterex.net There are only 3 real sports: bull-fighting, car racing and mountain climbing.

I believe I've seen a discussion on this in the forums. The error was found to be caused by the updated devfsd. I think devfsd was patched to send more messages to syslog. I don't know if it is caused by it, but the error messages appear to be related.

Either that or /etc/init.d/modules isn't being run on start for some reason... are all the other services on the box being started correctly? Yes, all other thingies are running nicely :). I mentioned only those which reported errors... I edited /etc/modules.d/i386 and commented out the line: alias char-major-10-135 rtc May be this line caused problems? I haven't compiled in /dev/rtc support in kernel, IIRC. Now I'll go on and reboot and tell you how it will react.

SNIP INIT: Entering runlevel 3 * Couldn't get dependency info for consoletrans! [repeated 4 times] *ERROR: consoletrans doesn't have a start function The new baselayout has better error checking and dependency checking so will be more verbose in cases where previous one would have said nothing. So either report bugs about the init scripts that appear in errors or wait for a fix. Thanks for explanation suggestion :). *Starting lircd... modprobe: Can't locate module /dev/lircd Once again, at first sight it seems the kernel support is missing. Did you get the classic xargs: environment too large for exec error on boot? And once again, it worked with old baselayout, I have support for btXXX chipset support enabled in kernel and lircd part is built as modules. And, yes, I have that xargs problem, but I recall seeing discussion about it on this list and decided to dig in archives later -- after I get rid of these modprobe errors. And thanks for reply.
