Hi,
My gentoo failed to boot up. When my gentoo is booting up, after the message
"mounting devpts at /dev/pts OK",
then it just stoped, and then I pressed "CTRL + c" to interrupt it, and the
message:
"Failed to start /etc/init.d/checkroot“ appeared.
I have checked the file /etc/init.d/checkroot, and I am sure it's the same
with another checkroot file which is in another normal gentoo(I used 'diff'
to compare).
Here is the file '/etc/init.d/checkroot':
