[gentoo-user] Recent booting problems

2005-09-12 Thread Dunc
Hi,

i rebooted my firewall yesterday, and it stopped just after the initrd,
when trying to fsck the root filesystem, because it had failed to 
remount the / filesystem read-only because it was busy, and thus fsck
was warning about checking a live filesystem

i rebooted from livecd, and fsck'ed my partitions manually, to make sure
they were ok, and then rebooted and said yes to fsck the live FS, and it
carried on and booted ok

i suspected i had baselayout out of sync or some such, so did emerge
sync and then upgraded baselayout.

that didn't help, so i tried emerge -e system, and also upgrade  of
world, and then i also rebuilt my initrd with genkernel, in case
something had changed in there.

still the same, so now i'm quite stuck

anyone else had this recently?

my kernels and ramdisk are always built with genkernel, and as i say
above i'm bang up to date now

any help greatly appreciated

cheers,

Dunc
