Hi All,
The day before yesterday compiled/booted/worked with this 'new' kernel -
gentoo-sources-2.6.12-r10 (after -r9).
Changelog only says it's based on 2.6.12.6 and there are two fixed Bugs
for AMD-64 a forcedeth problem (i'm on 32-bits don't have forcedeth).
Went for it cause wanted to try 'vesafb-tng' (splashutils). Works OK.
Think the later problems came from the vesafb-tng thing, which replaced
my previous 'bootsplash' feature/theme. On first two/three runs it
boots/works OK (nice work with that splash-themes).
Yesterday the problems began, still while booting, errors appeared while
starting 'svscan' (part of daemontools - i run tinydnsqmail) with
messages about the filesystem being 'read-only' etc and as it retries to
start endlessly things are doomed. Had to use Live-CD to fix the errors.
Returned to -r9, disabled 'svscan' on boot - works w/o flaws, later even
could start 'svscan' manually.
This is just as info and eventually if somebodies have any experiences.
Will try -r10 w/o starting 'svscan' look at the 2.6.12.6-Changelog,
but most probably will try out 2.6.13 (in testing or when it comes out).
Thank for your time. Rumen
Hi,
Found the culpit (or seems so), was /etc/init.d/splash started in
'default level'. Could try starting it in boot-level but too much
problems afterwards, so leave it turned off.
Now w/o it my system is OK again - kernel-2.6.12-r10 with splash.
