Okay, that's good to know. Now that you point it out, I see it in the ebuild. I guess it might be good to have a better understanding of the ebuilds in order to examine them for such things.

Re: [gentoo-user] dhcp and re-exec of init in log file
It might be helpful to post the EXACT error messages. I doubt if I'm able to help, but it seems to me that posting without them may be one of those people-may-tend-to-ignore-your-message mistakes.
