I can't remember the exact error but I found out how to fix it yesterday. Unmount whatever is on /home and re-emerge. I have /home mounted from an NFS server with root_squash and baselayout actually bombed out and didn't complete even though it looked like it did. Do you also see quite a few errors from the init scripts when you boot? In particular, do you see the following during boot: /sbin/runscript.sh: line 1: KV_major: command not found /sbin/runscript.sh: line 1: KV_minor: command not found If so, baselayout did not complete. Which means that not all of the init scripts were updated. I only found this out after comparing the installed /sbin/functions.sh to the one included in baselayout (/usr/portage/sys-apps/baselayout/files/rc-scripts-1.4.3.10p1.tar.bz2). I intended on submitting a bug report but I haven't had the time. If you want to turn in a bug report, post here letting us know. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
