It seems rc.conf itself is such a file, and I already check it for a debug variable, without success. I find obscure man pages like this: $qlist openrc |grep man The openrc package includes about twenty man pages, all of which look like they were written for developers instead of us (l)users. I (re)discovered the RC_DEBUG variable like this: $grep -ri debug /lib64/rc/* I say rediscover because I remember using it years ago when I was playing with the *BSD operating systems, but without using grep I couldn't possibly remember that. There are some questions that require a group of old farts, and you have found one in this mailing list :)

Maybe it was $man /etc/rc.conf or it even doesn't exist. I found a man page for some config files. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards Randolph Maaßen

The following command returns nothing: grep -i debug /etc/rc.conf. Anyway I tried downgrading openrc from 0.11.8 to 0.11.6, and with the older version there is no error message at boot. So perhaps it's a bug that has been introduced with 0.11.8. --- Ok. I finally decided to report it: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=447678

I get the following error message at boot time: * Mounting /proc... rm: cannot remove /run/openrc: Read-only file system It's the very first script launched by OpenRC, but I cannot determine which one it is. Anyway I'm quite sure it's a script from the sysinit runlevel. I'm drawing on ancient memories here, but I'd try setting RC_DEBUG=yes in /etc/rc.conf If it doesn't help, then my ancient memories are obsolete :)
