This is a very odd problem: First, I did fsck the Reiser4 partition, there were no errors found.
The machine: A Compaq R3000 laptop running 64-bit Gentoo. Here's the problem: I boot 2.6.21-rc4-mm1 into Gentoo single user mode. I cat /etc/ld.so.preload. It should contain /usr/local/lib64/libnosync.so Instead it contains an equal number of zeros. Weird, I say. I copy a backup file into place, or mv one, it does not matter. Reboot. Boot single user, /etc/ld.so.preload is empty AGAIN. So I add custom debugging to my init scripts. The file is safe all through shutdown and remount read-only seems OK. On boot, the file seems OK, UNTIL the initscripts remount the file system. This does NOT happen on 2.6.20. I could try to learn how to git bisect I guess. Or maybe someone here knows the problem already? Thanks. -- Jonathan Briggs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> eSoft, Inc.
