To hell with that. Read the damn title of THIS THREAD!! > > Hint: I am typing this on an Asus Eee PC that was just booted up on > battery power. > so what? it isn't mine. You trying to say your hardware and data are electron for electron and bit for bit a clone of mine? marples git openrc repo wiped my fsck and I forgot to add the line 'sleep 5' in the fsck start() func. Voila! Volumes mount -- no problem. Everything boots fine with battery power or AC. Problem sorted. Only thing, git sync failed to update /etc/init.d/net.lo. In /var/git/openrc net.lo.in for some reason was not transformed into net.lo and copied to /etc/init.d/. So of course net.lo and net.eth0(the symlink) are not available when boot completes. Now if you will just withdraw your fangs and "help" me with this latest glitch I'll be muy contento. mw
